Below is a clip from one of my recent Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® classes at the Reno Buddhist Center. It will give you a good taste of what classes are often like. Some are more active than this, but every class includes practicing body/self-awareness before the class begins, and a little bit of work assessing and improving walking. I do this because walking well is an essential element of exercise, comfort and freedom in our lives. I invite you to experience a classes for yourself. This is the only way you'll find out if they are right for you. And while you will experience a difference with only 1 class, it is most usual and productive to plan on 3-5 classes. I use a sliding scale for people who need it. You may use the contact form above to reach me easily or call me to discuss your situation or interest. I will send you the class handout once you do that.
And below is a recent testimonial by a long term student of mine, Kane Dutt. It too will help you get a taste of why you might wish to explore these for some people, amazing and life changing classes.
WHY I DO FELDENKRAIS LONG TERM:
I highly recommend Awareness thru Movement (ATM) for anyone with chronic pain, inoperable conditions, or who are experiencing decreased mobility, range of motion or other constraints negatively affecting their quality of life.
Between a congenital spine condition and trauma, I lived with nearly constant and often debilitating pain for decades prior to discovering Feldenkrais. I find the Feldenkrais ATM classes to be enjoyable, educational, and most of all, effective.
Since adopting ATM classes a part of my lifestyle, I now can direct my own healing, enjoy substantial improvements in my overall health and well being and a dramatic decrease in pain levels.
