Bones for Life® Classes

Beginning and Continuation Bones for Life® Classes Set

Ready for an alternative to trying to “make yourself stand up straighter”? The Bones for

Life: Fundamentals Part 1 class can help. Certified Bones for Life teacher, Marg Bartosek, will

teach the class on Wednesday, September 25 and Friday, September 27 from 2:15 to 3:45 pm. at

the Davis Senior Center. The cost is $27 for residents, and the registration deadline is Friday,

September 20.

Bones for Life® uses dynamic and rhythmic movement patterns that involve pushing

hands and feet into the wall or floor, and using a strip of cloth as a wrap to assist alignment and

ensure safety. Through gentle movement explorations, students learn to sense and adjust their

skeletal alignment to find upright posture, improve balance and coordination, and experience a

natural springy walk. Other weight-bearing exercise, such as walking or weight training, will

then be more enjoyable and beneficial.

Part 2 of the Fundamentals class will be offered in February 2014 – watch for upcoming

details. Upon completion of both sessions, students may continue with topic-focused

Continuation Classes. The Continuation Class, also taught by Marg Bartosek, will focus on

alignment and movement of the neck and lower back in coordination with the pelvis. The

Continuation Class will be offered on Wednesday, September 25, and Friday September 27, from
