ABSFest! (American Burlesque & Sideshow Festival) June 13, 14
Alyssum will be teaching a workshop and also show off some of her bendiness in the show this weekend! Come enjoy...
Dedicated Flexibility: Improving flexibility for performance and everyday health—Yoga is great, but what about when you don’t have time to go to a yoga class? This class will be open to ALL levels of flexibility, and will concentrate on things you can take home with you. We will specifically cover hamstring stretches (for all you high-heeled divas) and back stretches to keep that back of yours safe for a long time to come. There will also be discussion on how to improve flexibility over time (ever wanted to get into those splits?). Students will need to bring a yoga mat or towel, and note-taking materials are encouraged.
Please register or learn more here.
