Awareness Through Movement®
Discover ease and comfort as your body finds the most efficient and comfortable ways of moving involves using the support of the skeleton. Learn how to sense yourself as you move. you are verbally lead through simple and varied movements.
Through this floor work – on your back, sides or front – you learn to find ease in sitting, standing and walking.
Feldenkrais® group classes are known as Awareness Through Movement® lessons.
These classes use slow, mindful movements to achieve powerful effects in terms of strength, flexibility, and holistic integration of body and mind.You can expect a class to last somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes. You might walk, stand, or sit in a chair, although usually, you will lie on the floor in a variety of comfortable positions: either on your back, front, or side.
I guide you through a sequence of movements, encouraging them to move with gentle attention within a comfortable range. You may become aware of unexpected and interesting connections within and between the movements.
As you attend to the improving quality of movement, unnecessary muscular tensions throughout the body can reorganize and release. Students are often amazed at the quick and clear changes that occur through the neuromuscular re-patterning that happens in an Awareness Through Movement lesson!
Feldenkrais™ lessons can complement and transform a yoga practice. The lessons develop internal process to naturally let go of unnecessary tension while refining movement patterns, and cultivating curiosity all while increasing overall ease and health.
One’s yoga practice can become not just easier, but more graceful and integrated – and fun! (for more info about the connection between the Method and Yoga, click here…)
About this class series.
I thought it would be fun and rewarding to explore a few of the many lessons that Dr. Feldenkrais created related to yoga postures. These tend to require the student to pay closer attention to their habits of straining and exertion, and thus, the rewards are potentially so much more enhanced.
