"Dance Forever" Therapeutic Yoga Workshop Series

Part of the Dance Program's new Backstage Series, this is the first in a series of three workshops focusing on therapeutic yoga for dancers taught by guest instructor Olynda Smith, certified Anusara Yoga Teacher and Co-Owner of Durham Yoga Company Studio. The Backstage Series is made possible by a grant from the Mary Duke Biddle FoundationYogic alignment can help clear old injuries, prevent new ones and ensure that you are operating at your highest potential every time you dance. This series of three workshops utilizes the universal principles of alignment to highlight how to keep you healthy, strong, and free of injury. You will experience the alignment in your body and leave each workshop with many exercises you can do after long days of dancing to help you dance forever. Although each workshop stands on its own, plan to attend all three for maximum benefit.- Feet & Knees ¿ Tuesday, Sept. 18, 1:25-2:55 ¿ the Ark Dance Studio- Lower back & Hips ¿ Monday, Oct. 1, 6:15-7:45 ¿ the Ark Dance Studio- Shoulders/neck/upper back ¿ Monday, Oct. 8, 4:40-6:10 ¿ the Ark Dance Studio
