Mara was inspired to dance at a young age
I am originally from Boulder, Colorado, and when I was two years old, my dad went to our public library. He rented videos of Margot Fontaine and Mikael Baryshnikov because he thought I might be interested in ballet. I've never looked back. Mara's class is based in Gyrotonics, aka "dancers' yoga" Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis are movement systems that helps every body reach its potential, feel connected, enlivened, opened, and strengthened. It utilizes and expands on a lot of the breath and spiritual centering of yoga, while opening the spine and joints and strengthening the core, legs, and back. My class incorporates many Gyro exercises, with additional stretch and relaxation elements. |
