Restorative Yoga Class

"Be kind to yourself. You will see the happiness coming up from your core!"

This class is designed for restoring the energy that exists in your core. This easy exercise starts with stretching, breathing and expression and draws out power in order to release physical stiffness and emotional blockage. I have designed it to promote health and happiness.

CRS Artist-in-Resident Mariko Endo studied psychoanalysis and bodywork in addition to developing a strong foundation in Butoh dance under the guidance of master Akira Kasai at his private dance institute in Tokyo. Mariko toured Japan and the United States as a principal dancer in Dairakudakan Butoh Company from 2001 to 2004. Since moving to NYC in the summer of 2007, she has been involved in a variety of projects. Her recent work has been strongly influenced by her study of A Course in Miracles with Yasuko Kasaki at CRS. She thinks of a human body as having a soul and spirit as well as physical attributes, and this influences her approach to dance as a sculpture of consciousness. She is currently developing a Butoh class focused on the experience of harnessing the energy of Life (yogic prana), Voice (Ephesus in Eurythmy), and Consciousness to produce energy for dance.

Mariko also teaches private classes for actors who are looking to strengthen their presence on stage and for children with special needs.
