Floorwork is a beautiful addition to a set, but it can often feel intimidating to learn. Especially to learn at home on your own.
This introduction course is designed with a focus on safety and understanding your unique anatomy to help you determine which areas of floorwork are suitable for you, how to condition and prepare your body to safely get into the movements AND understand why some movements simply aren’t for everyone (not just about zippers) as well as offering alternatives where appropriate.
Feeling confident about the foundations and technique as well as spending some time practicing and conditioning the body is important before moving to more advanced concepts. Therefore this course does not include advanced floorwork concepts like zippers, mermaid turns and knee walks. Those will be covered at a later time.
You will need knee pads for this class and please have a skirt for the final section.
This class was originally filmed live as part of a four week series. Please disregard references to Q&As, Facebook group, etc.
