Class Description: Ann has created a core strengthening technique that combines somatic principles with the discipline of modern dance, and the foundational strength utilized in basic gymnastics. With these movements, she cultivated a daily practice that works for her and the women she coaches, which she calls Beyond Movement. If you love yoga, this mindful movement class will support you in creating a personal practice you love! (90 minutes)
Instructor Bio: Ann Taylor Lashbrook is a multi-passionate, multi-disciplined movement coach and somatic teacher. She owns and operates the Beyond Movement Program online. Currently she teaches locally for RockSport. Her goal is to educate, empower, and entertain her students into loving the gift of being embodied! She began climbing in her teens and spent 9 months of 2019 in the Red River Gorge. She has spent the past 20 years teaching and studying what the fitness world has to offer. Over the last decade she has been fortunate enough to work alongside some amazing movement leaders, and she began to see common threads to develop her own curriculum: Beyond Movement while training in California, New York, Colorado, many states in the southeast, Tulum, Mexico, and Peru.
She believes we are lacking a foundation in movement education. Because of this she loses the dogma involved in many popular exercises trends, and instead focuses on coaching foundational strength using simple biomechanics. While coaching directions of movement at the joint, she highlights imbalances in core strengthening and foundational body alignment. AT’s desire is that her students begin to create a movement practice they love slowly and safely.
