CREATIVE BODY ALIGNMENT WORKSHOP
Creative Body Alignment workshops are led by guest teacher Carol Loud for one week-end in June or July. Carol has thirty years' experience in performing and teaching dance, sensory integration and body alignment based on the work of Mabel Elsworth Todd and Andre Bernard. This is an approach to freeing the human body of muscular stresses that is unique in its reliance on the creative mind to re-educate neuro-muscular patterns for balanced alignment and ease of motion. This training can be put to work immediately in daily living, dance, athletics, performing, teaching and healing.

CREATIVE BODY ALIGNMENT WORKSHOP, 2010
