Sam Tribble WORKSHOP: Cyr Wheel AKA Simple Wheel or Mono Wheel
The class is first familiarized with the Mono Wheel apparatus in size weight and dimension. Basic manipulation and handling of the wheel is introduced for safety and understanding of the Progressive Axis Training technique or PAT ™ for sustaining and perpetuating spin. Balance, agility, flexibility, core strength and range of motion are incorporated into this exercise progressively throughout the course.
By the end of the class students will have a general understanding with wheel manipulation and know how to mount and possibly find center axis using several prescribed mounts.
Students will also understand flow as it applies to aesthetics and the fluid transfer of energy and the health benefits of working with counter balance skills in conjunction with angular momentum.

SACRED DANCE & YOGA OF THE ELEMENTS Embrace and embody the elements of Fire, Air, Earth, Water, and Ether with a fusion of Bellydance, Samba, Afro-Brazilian, and Indian Dance.

BIO: With a background in dance since the age of three, Briana Kai has been exploring creative movement her whole life. Beginning with Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Hip Hop, and later expanding into Salsa, Samba, Belly Dance, Afro-Brazilian, and Odissi Indian Temple Dance, artistic fusion has become culmination of years of exposure to diverse styles and dance cultures. Finding deep healing in the sacredness of movement and the devotion of dance, naturally Briana was drawn to develop a regular yoga practice to compliment her dancing. Completing her Pilates certification with Polestar Pilates in 2008, she began to explore the therapeutic and healing qualities of various movement modalities. Â Teaching dance and movement to children of all ages since she was ten years old, Briana loves to share practices to elevate and empower the youth to be conscious co-creators of their own reality and honor the body temple. As an accomplished singer, music has a great impact in her practice over the years, and she loves to share the harmonizing and transcendental effects of the combination of movement and music in her classes. Finding the universal love and oneness through dance blending with the spiritual awareness of yoga, fusion is the natural progression; creating a sacred space with our own body temples through devotional disciple and practice results in a happy, healthy and holy life.

BEGINNING POLE ACROBATICS & SPINS
In this beginning pole acrobatic and spinning workshop we will be learning some of the basic universal pole moves, positions and spins that have made pole dance and acrobatics so popular! Technique plays an important role in this gymnastic sport, and you will walk away from this workshop with a good grip on beginning pole moves and spins as well as the technique needed to implement further advanced positions and inversions. And, just as important it is to execute these moves and spins, learning how to gracefully enter and exit them is equally crucial. No need for any rigorous dance, fitness or acrobatic experience prior to taking this workshop; you will gain the exact skills that you need to take away a fantastic foundation (and mini-routine!) on the pole.
POLE CONDITIONING AND STRETCHING In this pole conditioning and stretching workshop we will be gaining the musculature of an elite athlete, after all that’s what pole acrobatics is all about! You will learn how to strengthen muscles, tendons and ligaments indigenous to the pole all while elongating them and creating a lithe, lean look. You will not only feel stronger and more empowered, but also beautiful and enlightened; there’ss something to be said about the way that Greek Gods looked while perched atop Mount Olympus. Keep this image in mind while on your way to the best shape of your life via pole conditioning and stretching, nothing compares. Tabata method (high intensity interval training) is used in some parts of the workshop. Novice fitness students thru advanced athletes welcome!
