Hello Lv VII, VIII and Adv C students!
We have an exciting addition to the wellness program this year designed to promote physical wellness specifically. These sessions are optional; however we HIGHLY encourage you to attend as many sessions as you can. Through this programming your Company mentors are hoping to give you the skills and strength to reduce injury and rehabilitate yourselves faster! We really encourage you to take advantage of this time to learn from some incredible professionals.
The first session is this Saturday September 20th from 10:00-11:00am in the JDBR, we really hope to see you there! You can sign up using the sheet linked here, spots are limited, and we are inviting the Professional Division students to join as well. We will send a sign up sheet out before each optional Physical Wellness session so keep an eye out for these in the future as well!
There will be 4 sessions throughout the year with Betsy Rigsby and Stevie Panteleakos. They will go over physical wellness and training topics such as:
- Importance of sleep & how to improve sleep hygiene
- How weight & strength training improves bone health
- Mindful meditation & yoga for stress and pain reduction
- When to seek care/help
- Cross training for jumps & power development
- Key cross training elements to be prepared for modern & contemporary choreography
- Self-release, mobilization, & self-massage techniques
- How to keep tendons healthy
- Why to build bone health now to prevent stress fractures in the future
Again, we hope you take advantage of this amazing opportunity!
Thanks!
