Rosen Method Movement was developed by an innovative physical therapist as a way to prevent problems before they arise. With each movement, the whole body is enlivened from its central core. Because the movements are simple and unhurried, they are appropriate for all ages.
Rosen Movement is done to music, using a variety of rhythms that match the body's natural resonance. The music allows movement to enter the body without effort. It also encourages the spontaneity and creativity that make Rosen Movement unique. The freedom and joy of moving to music unite body and mind. You'll leave with a sense of pleasure and ease and with a smile on your face.
By attending a weekly class, you will:
Keep your body supple and moving freely
Improve alignment and posture
Increase coordination and balance
Breathe with greater ease
Increase vitality and aliveness
Re-experience the joy of moving that you felt as a child

From the founder of Rosen Movement, Marion Rosen:
"Our goal is to make people feel happy and motivated to dance, rather than drag themselves around. We would like them to feel physically well when their bodies move, and emotionally cheerful…. [T]his is built on a very deep knowledge of anatomy and how people can move."
From Albert Einstein:
"Nothing happens until something moves."
