Informative and Experiential: Learn the building blocks for applying intelligent movement and mindful attention to improve how you do everything.
A good introduction: as well as valuable information for anyone who is already practicing the Feldenkrais Method®
Every day you reach, hold, touch, carry, lift, push and pull. You also hug, communicate, nourish, create and love - with your arms, hands from your heart.A gorgeous series of lessons promoting ease, strength and articulation of arms and hands for work and play.
Experience directly how working with your arms and hands can also benefit your shoulders and neck.
Ribs Actually
If your shoulders, neck or back are painful or stiff, chances are your ribs aren't moving as well as they could. Ribs are designed to adapt, yield and articulate. Mobile Ribs = Mobile You. Liberate your ribs and your self in this engaging, somatic, learning + moving workshop.
Neck, Jaw and Posture
Consider the relationship between your jaw and the top vertebrae of your neck. The TMJ (jaw joints) are on either side of a critical balance point for your head (OA Junction). Many head and neck issues can be connected to jaw tension and poor alignment. Using The Feldenkrais Method ® , we can learn to improve alignment and function, while reducing or even eliminating pain and tension. Even better, we build and update 'maps' of awareness, which always move us in the direction of health and our best movement and performance.
Knees, Ankles & Feet
Our feet are designed to thrive without the support of a shoe, and respond to uneven surfaces that provide a rich context for sensing and adapting. What's your Ankle IQ? Consider the ankle savvy needed for squatting without effort. So much of natural human movement relies on articulate ankles and feet and spring-like knees, to create a lightness of step worth cultivating. We'll work in the direction of squatting to explore how knees and ankles work can together with more ease. And finish with some specific foot movements that will leave you light on your feet and taller than when we started!
