The „Cool Down” class is designed for dancers at the conclusion of an intensive workshop day during the Dance Education Biennale. Its purpose is to provide a mindful balance to the physical and mental demands of the day. The session is based on Vinyasa Yoga, a technique in which movement sequences are coordinated with the breath. The flowing transitions between postures enhance body awareness, movement control, and muscular integration – qualities that are particularly beneficial for dancers. Additionally, Vinyasa Yoga promotes stress reduction by integrating breathing, focus, and relaxation. The class concludes with a phase of deep rest (Shavasana), allowing the body to calm down and recover.
