The exercise movement of medau has its roots in the 1920s. Unlike modern exercise programmes, it involves gentle, graceful movement wih an emphasis on developing poise, consciousness of self, and body tone. Here is an opportunity to create a healthy body. Lucy Jackson was a student of Laban, and teaches medau from London to New York and Chicago. Equally applicable to all ages, the movements are both restorative and preventative of injury. This book ties in with a recently produced Channel 5 video.
