Rosen Movement

Rosen Method Movement classes can be taught to people of all ages, sizes and abilities. By moving together as a group we offer each other support and community. Rosen Movement classes are about being aware of your body moving, feeling your body moving and relaxing your body as it moves. Marion Rosen started this form of movement in response to her physical therapy clients who used to ask her if there was anything they could do to prevent future injuries. The classes are made up of stretches, joint mobilizations and dance-like movements that are done to music.

Some of the elements that are unique to Rosen Method Movement include: pausing long enough between movements so we can experience the natural breath, opening the chest and feeling the inner stretch and ease in the diaphragm, doing the movements long enough so they are felt in the body but not for so long that one becomes tired.

The teacher is trained to notice where students are holding back as they move. According to the observations, the teacher introduces specific movements. Over time, this helps facilitate the student's ability to dissolve the barriers that keep them from moving freely.

Enjoyment of movement is the emphasis of Rosen Method Movement classes. After a 60-minute class, students are laughing, more light-hearted and feeling renewed.
