Class Description

Marcel Casablanca’s training focuses on fundamental physical principles and how to find optimal movement patterns for one’s body. The class has its emphasis on maximizing possibilities with minimal effort. Marcel also aims to strengthen trust in the wisdom that the body stores and to work with our inner child. The training consists of a Feldenkrais inspired warm up, improvisation, floor work or partnering/contact, and a phrase featuring challenging coordination and acrobatic elements.
