i.flo Capoeira inspired Movement workshop with Baris
– ‘My practice is to learn how embrace the constant change that is, this is why I move’ – Baris Yazar
The workshop will include the principles of i.flo Movement, a Capoeira inspired progressive bodyweight conditioning method developing ‘strength and flexibility in harmony’. The workshop is based on various bodyweight exercises and movements that everybody can relate to and through playful practice develop the ordinary into the extraordinary!
Strength is developed by using bodyweight a means of resistance through concentric, eccentric and isometric muscle contractions. Flexibility through styles of stretching. Both strength and flexibilty is then harnessed together through movement, resulting in a unique harmony between the two, creating ease of movement functional for everyday life!
i.flo movement promotes principles for body balance and equilibrium.
