Rosen Movement

Grumpy muscles and joints? This class is for you! Based on Rosen Method Movement, a tradition developed by physical therapist Marion Rosen, who took this class right here at Albany Senior Center through her mid-90's. Classes are playful yet powerful, combining elements of stretch, balance, dance, yoga, and relaxation, all done to a variety of wonderful music. Lengthening and lubricating the joints and muscles, working with balance, and stimulating the brain- while being part of a supportive group- all contribute to feeling more relaxed and alive. Suitable for all fitness and ability levels. Join us! Fee is per class.
