Open Level Mat - is taught at the intermediate level and is open to students at all levels. While not a class for the first time student, beginners familiar with basic principles and fundamentals are welcome. Options are offered to modify or advance the work within the same exercise. As such, people will perform the same exercise but in varied forms, enabling each student to reap full reward from the method. All students can benefit from this class.
This is not a class for the first time student. A minimum of one private lesson is necessary before attending this class. Beginners who are already familiar with the basic fundamental principles and have been taught how and why to adapt the work using modifications for safety, are welcome in this class. Direction is still provided, but familiarity is necessary in this group setting.
Any client with special circumstances; such as recent joint replacements, pregnancy, or any special medical condition should have prior assessment and approval before attending an Open Level Mat class. A private lesson is the best place to start. We will work with you to make a safe transition into group classes.
