Yoga For Dancers - by Xanne Mensinga

New @UtrechtZouk!! Our brandnew Yoga for Dancers course will be taught by Xanne Mensinga who is both a certified yoga instructor as well as an experienced dancer in multiple dance styles. She combines yoga and dance expression, to comfortable in expressing yourself through movement! Dancers love to move. They love to feel their bodies flow across the stage, but it’s important for them to slow down sometimes. Doing yoga is a great way for dancers to increase their strength, joint stability, and flexibility. Yoga, over time, makes a dancer better, regardless of their dance style. While every yoga pose and technique is beneficial in some way, there are certain poses/techniques that are specifically great for dancers. Xanne will introduce yoga flows, breathing exercises, strength training, and explore theater and dance expression. Good to know: Please bring your own yoga mat! We'll have a few spare ones, but not enough for everyone unfortunately.
