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!
What Words Do You Use to Learn?
How do you talk to yourself when learning a new action, refining a posture, or shifting a habit?
We lack a shared language for movement. We struggle to describe what we feel internally, and even more so to articulate how different parts of ourselves connect and work together.
We need to develop a toolkit of words—not to categorize or confine movement, but to open new possibilities. Naming isn’t about putting things in a cubbyhole, but opening a door to a field to play in.
That’s the theme of my upcoming series:
Opening Doors to a Field to Play In
Join me in this exploration of movement, learning, and play. If you’re new to Feldenkrais, this is a perfect introduction. If you’ve taken classes before, you’ll return to old favorites while deepening your experience of how you experience.
