Join our group of Badassadors as they lead you through a variety of stimulations for the mind, body and soul set to the the drip of carefully curated beats. 

 

Our intention is to provide a collaborative community for hip hop fans to explore a variety of movement and mindfulness practices in order to improve health, reduce stress and gain hype for life, as well as celebrate the creative genius of rap music OGs, new Gs and innovators alike.  

 

Each class includes: physical and mental methods of shifting one’s consciousness to improve focus as well as create strength, flexibility and a deep awareness of the mind and body; an emphasis on breathing techniques; a coordinated playlist recommended by the teacher to get you in the groove to move; alternative movements and prop suggestions to suit every body; a calming rest or mediative pose to finish; and “Rap Snax” peppered throughout the class.
