International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance 2014: YOGA Morning warm-up with Ottilia Bergström In order to keep our bodies healthy and strong, we need to strengthen both our muscles and our minds. The correct translation of the word yoga means exactly that: ‘union’. During our morning yoga classes we will work on positions that both strengthen and stretch the body. The classes are especially designed for dancers as a complement to their dance training. Ottilia mixes Hatha yoga, Power yoga and Ashtanga yoga to work through the large groups of muscles, using the breath to experience flow between the strengthening exercises. She will encourage you to deepen your stretches and open your mind, which will in turn help you to maintain your focus during your practise. ------------ Educated at the Iwanson International School of Contemporary Dance, Ottilia Bergström is a professional dancer who teaches modern, contemporary, jazz and street dance at Löftadalen Conservatory. She is also active as a choreographer, most recently at the Folk & World Music Gala held at the Norrland Opera, and during the exhibition Co-laborationer at Fyren Art Gallery in Kungsbacka. Ottilia started her yoga training in 2006 and has been teaching yoga for dancers since 2010. She also works as a hot yoga instructor in Varberg, Sweden. ------------ International Summer Academy of Baroque Dance Löftadalen Conservatory, Gothenburg, 3-9 August 2014 Program to be released and registrations to open by 20 March.
