Alexandra Bodnarchuk teaches September Moving Practice
Tuesdays in September | 10:00 – 11:30am
“Class will begin with a full body wake up before moving into expansive movement. Students will be guided through articulate exercises and end class learning a phrase that invites them to explore their full range of movement from big to small” -Alexandra Bodnarchuk
