the goddess movement






Classes are arranged in six week sessions, one class per week. It is recommended that you take at least two sessions to feel confident and comfortable with the movement– although you can continue on as long as you like!

Each class is over 85 minutes, incorporating progressions of:

Mat Exercises: This repertoire of exercises will beautifully work the derriere, abdominals, legs and arms to strengthen, stretch and revive you.

Hip-talk: You will learn to unlock your hips and let them move how they were intended– mesmerizing and powerful.

Sensual Moves:
The movements that only we as women are blessed with! Learn the enjoyment in the simplest movements and gestures. Learn the “g” walk, barrel circles, hip rock and more!  You will also learn playful choreography on the wall and chair.

Pole Work:
A program designed to be accomplished by anybody! The focus is on creating spins, holds and eventually inverstions with strength, control & grace.  Safety and success is our promise to you!
