UCLA Saturday Masterclasses Curated by Kyle Abraham: Keerati Jinakunwiphat
Saturday, May 15, 2021, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PDT
Category: Movement Classes

With the intention of preparing, organizing, and freeing our bodies, Keerati's class begins with connecting to our awareness. The class uses the floor to discover tactility, mobility, and shifts of body weight to warm up. With this sense of groundedness, the class shifts to exploring different planes and axises to find new ways to move through technique. Keerati's class focuses on how we can stay present as we take up and share the space with each other.
