Find relief from achy, painful knees in this Awareness Through Movement workshop. Using the unique and engaging Awareness Through Movement lessons of the Feldenkrais Method you will create better coordination and harmony among the joints of your legs and between your torso and legs

Knee pain can often stem from inflexibility in the other joints of the leg or from inflexibility in the ribs and spine. When the knee is inappropriately used to make up for lack of movement in other joints it can lead to gradual wear and tear or injury.

  • Improve posture
  • Make standing, walking, running easier and more effiicent
  • Reduce wear and tear on your joints
  • Learn to do all of this without stretching!

After the workshop, feel aligned, empowered, and ready to move with your whole self!

This workshop is appropriate for athletes and non-athletes alike. It is appropriate for those recovering from knee injury or surgery as well as those seeking to avoid injury and surgery. No previous experience with the Feldenkrais Method is required.

After the workshop, join an ATM class to continue to improvement!

Bring a blanket to lie on and 2 rolled up towels for head support. Wear comfy clothes that don't restrict your movement, but keep you warm.
Feldenkrais lessons combine movement with awareness to bring about lasting, systemic changes. Unlike stretching, Feldenkrais uses whole-body, functional patterns to affect change.

Using several Awareness Through Movement lessons, you will learn to:
  • reduce chronic shoulder tension
  • improve flexibility & mobility of your shoulders
  • move your shoulders with your whole self
  • create ease and comfort in movements involving your shoulders
