Feldenkrais Method® Group Classes
Group classes are called Awareness Through Movement™ classes.
Change Your Movement, Change Your Life!
Awareness Through Movement™ (ATM) classes are guided movement explorations that are both fun and unique. Lessons take place in a variety of positions although they are typically performed lying on the floor. Hundreds of ATM lessons exist. Lessons explore familiar and unfamiliar movement patterns and can lead to lasting improvement in daily movement functions such as walking, sitting, turning, reaching, running, breathing and more!
In Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons, people engage in precisely structured movement explorations that involve thinking, sensing, moving, and imagining. The lessons draw attention to habitual neuromuscular patterns and expand options for new ways of moving while increasing sensitivity and improving efficiency.
After experiencing Feldenkrais® lessons, people often express feelings of relaxation, ease, stability, strength and new possibility. They may breathe more freely, walk more smoothly, stand more erect, and find their thoughts have more clarity. The learning process is full of pleasant surprises and personal breakthroughs.
Weekly Classes in Awareness Through Movement™ are offered as series. Series are constructed so that lessons build off one another. Maximum benefit is attained from regular classes. However, series can be joined at any time and individual lessons are still quite effective. If you have never tried an ATM lesson, you can come to one class free. Please call ahead. You may also be interested in trying this recorded lesson.
Workshops are offerred periodically around a particular theme. Workshops consist of several Awareness Through Movement lessons along with discussion. Doing several consecutive lessons allows the benefits of each lesson to build.
ATM lessons are appropriate for all ages and abilities. If you have an existing condition and you would like to confirm that Feldenkrais is appropriate for you, please consult your physician and feel free to contact me with your questions.
