Lifestyle Group Presents: The Art of Movement

The LAX Coastal Lifestyle Group, "Living A 5 Star Lifestyle" is looking forward to introducing you to Linda Ayentes, owner of Artistico School of Dance in Westchester. During this interactive session, we will be using a rectangular scarf (of your choosing) to enjoy the Art of Movement.
 
What is movement and why is it important to us as an individual?

• At the beginning let’s take word associated with an emotion of how movement makes you feel 
• Using movement in a safe and nurturing environment helps to release the feelings that have been building up or perhaps hiding
• Discover what movement means to you, how it impacts your mind, body and soul.
• Using the scarf we will create a piece that helps us release the thoughts that we have been collecting, giving us a chance to express ourselves without words.
• At the end, let’s talk about your emotion and has movement help to change that emotion

 
Daily activity also helps boost balance, motor function, brain function, and cognition. According to research, movement increases blood and oxygen flow, which positively affects cognitive development, physical health, and mental well-being. We encourage movement in some shape or form daily.
 
For this session, we will be using a rectangular scarf which allows you the freedom to create beautiful movements with ease, allowing the scarf to embrace, feel and be our emotion,  We will create a piece that helps us release the thoughts that we have been collecting, giving us a chance to express ourselves without words and conversation after.
