Core Class - Monday, April 22nd, 10 AM

Monday, April 22nd, 10 am to 11:00 class instructor: Amelia Reiser

YOGA FOR THE MOVING BODY
A creative and mindful approach to increasing strength, flexibility, stability, and balance. This practice is structured for the rigor of professional dancers, and also is accessible to anyone who experiences movement as a part of their lives (hint: we all do!) Incorporating pranayama techniques (breath work) adds awareness, core stability, and lung capacity for increased stamina in performance. Using the nervous system as a guide, this class will have a balance of exertion and rest, layering creative imagining and clarity in the present moment.

Instructor Bio:
Atlanta-based movement artist Amelia Reiser, a native of Oklahoma, started training at a young age at The Classical Ballet Academy. Amelia went on to attend The University of Georgia (UGA) where she completed a BFA in Dance Performance in 2011. She spent time living in Ireland after graduation working with local artists through an internship with Athlone Arts and Heritage and collaborated on a dance film with visual artist Lesley Wingfiled titled Waters and the Wild (2011). Over her 25+ years of performing and creating, Amelia has had the opportunity to work with numerous dance-makers and artists including T Lang Dance, Nick Cave, Maryn Whitmore, Erik Thurmond, Christina Noel Reaves, Lesley Wingfield, Emily Christianson, Sara Santamaria, Greg Catellier, and George Staib. Her most recent work includes “Sheltered in Place” (2020) in collaboration with sculptor Sara Santamaria presented by Creatives Project and DriveThru ATL, and “pinion” (2021) a solo work in process shown at Excuse The Art presented by Fly on a Wall. Since 2013, Amelia has been a collaborative company member of Staibdance in Atlanta, GA. In addition to creating and performing, Amelia teaches yoga at Tough Love Yoga and Emory Healthcare, and is a trauma informed yoga and mindfulness teacher working with incarcerated youth through local nonprofit Centering Youth. An avid lover of dramatic skies, wild mountains, and trees, Amelia spends most spare moments in her garden, or escaping the city in search of adventure and wilderness.
