Series #1 : Getting Your Back Back - Dynamic Effortless Posture, Part 1
Eight Tuesdays, 6 to 7 pm
Begins January 13, 2009
Read about more class details
Have you ever wondered why standing or sitting up straight requires work? Can you manage ‘good’ posture only as long as you have the strength and intention to hold yourself up? What would it be like if your posture was easy, effortless, and automatic? Get your back back and discover dynamic effortless posture in this series of engaging lessons!
This series consists of 8 Awareness Through Movement lessons with an emphasis on improving the function of the spine / back. Learn how to use your entire spine as an integrated whole and translate the learning to improved sitting, walking, running, skiing, etc. Each week a new Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement™ lesson will be presented that will highlight aspects of dynamic, effortless posture. Over the course of 8 weeks you will develop a kinesthetic understanding of how to support yourself easily in gravity.
Series #2 : Hips, Knees, Ankles & Feet - Finding Support through your skeleton
Eight Thursdays, 7 to 8 pm
Begins January 15, 2009
Read about more class details
Do you ever experience discomfort in your hips, knees, ankles, or feet? What would it be like if these joints had more of their natural potential for movement? What if you had supple, responsive, adaptable legs on which to stand, walk, or run? Find support for movement and life by restoring natural mobility and youthful movement to your entire leg. Well organized legs provide a basis of support for walking, running, sitting, standing.
Restore natural mobility and youthful movement to your entire leg with 8 lessons designed to address the individual abilities and collective integration of these very important joints. Hip discomfort can be exacerbated by inflexible ankles, knee pain can be related to stiff feet and even shoulder pain can be a result of poor organization in our lower half. Well organized legs provide a basis of support for walking, running, sitting, standing as well as light, easy movements with the arms and upper half of the body.
Series #3 : Wednesday Morning Awareness Through Movement™, Moving in Circles
Eight Wednesdays, 10 to 11 am
Begins January 14, 2009
Read about more class details
Begin your day with an Awareness Through Movement™ lesson that will engage your brain and your body. This series will utilize circular movement to reveal habitual use patterns and expand the range of movement throughout the body. We will travel from head to toe (or toe to head) as we rotate and move in circles in feet, hips, pelvis, spine, shoulders, head, eyes and more!
Take some time for yourself first thing in the morning and savor the lasting effects throughout the day!
Group classes are also offered in a workshop format.
