Capoeira is for everyone, and the benefits are essential in the quest for wellness! Some physical benefits are strength, stamina, agility, flexibility, and balance. Expression of the body and mind and language development are also explored. To many, capoeira is a fun way to manage stress. Participants can look forward to learning the main capoeira movement called ginga, basic capoeira kicks and escapes. Cartwheels, handstands, and other beginner gymnastics movements will be reviewed as well as an introduction to some percussion instruments.”

Adaptability Comments
This session is partially adaptable for persons with cognitive disabilities. It is, however, a very high-energy activity that uses the whole body, so some persons with physical disabilities may be limited in the class. With that said, there are individuals in wheelchairs that enjoy capoeira.
