I've found heaven at The Meadow! For one hour each Monday, MaryBeth guides us in the GeoSpatial™ class where deep stretching is combined with elements of dance and meditation. Her gentle words lea us through a magical world where our bodies move and flow, recalling our deep connection to nature and to the universe.
-Silvia (teacher)
This class (GeoSpatial™) incorporates stretching an strengthening movements at the same time and I find that it hits all the acupressure points. I also find it works to relieve my headaches. The meditative quality promotes my overall health and calm which redirects energy. I never want to miss this class and I find that I use some of the sequences out of class and at home to target areas that need it when I am on my own.
-Chris (a class participant)
We did a trial ballet class at another studio where the kids were directed to mimic the teacher exactly. I didn't think that provided enough creative expression, which is what I was looking for. I appreciate how to spark of an idea generated in MaryBeth's dance class can spread to other aspects of my daughter's learning. For example after my daughter danced about the world, she became interested in learning more about the wind from a scientific standpoint. She wanted to find out how the wind creates waves on the ocean. So, she's becoming interested not just in dance and in how a concept relates to the way she moves, but she is also interested in how a concept relates to the world around her. And furthermore, and perhaps most important, dancing with MaryBeth at t The Meadow has been so beneficial for my daughter, it has help to kindle a true love of dance, music, beauty and the creative expression of her inner self in a supportive nurturing community.
