There will be no homework however practicing drills 3-5 times a week show the best results!
35 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
This class is appropriate for young learners. A soft surface is recommended as we will be using the floor at times, as well as an open space to reduce risk of injury. If a student is tired they are always welcome to take a break. I will be watching and correcting mistakes as well as demonstrating safe execution of exercises before attempting. Proper footwear should be worn or bare-feet to reduce any slipping. Students are encourage to have a water bottle nearby. We will warm up our muscles at the beginning of class with some movements. Injuries can occur if not properly supervised.
