About the Class

Free to Attend!

Weight and Release: Amya's classes center around weight and how it can be used to our advantage. Drawing inspiration from release technique, we will play with balance, falling and rising, and weight distribution. Class will include an improvisational exploration and a short phrase taught by Amya. This is your time for self-exploration. Feel free to do what feels best for you! Come in with a playful spirit and an open mind!
