Short video - Better walking, brain function, aligning shoulder/arm, hips, legs; empowering pelvis:

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement class for the coming week:

I'm teaching a terrific new lesson again the week of Aug 27-Sept. 1 that has a powerful effect on your walking; it also works with shoulder and hip joints moving mindfully, separately and together, with the eyes and the head. Sometimes all 4 parts are doing something different. Here is a tiny clip of part of the lesson, with my voice.

It is simple and fun lesson that is wonderfully challenging for the brain, and has great impact on the organization of upper and lower torso, particularly the pelvis; it also reseats the arms in the shoulder joints and the legs in the hip joints, improving balance while working the eyes actively with, and in opposition to, other movements. 

Walking well requires that the pelvis move over the advancing foot so the entire body can organize with stability in the movement. This lesson strengthens the relationship between femur, hip joint and foot so that stability becomes possible.  

The lesson also helps us to be aware of and reduce unconscious tension in the muscles around the joints, so that the movement of our limbs is lighter and more efficient and comfortable, whether we suffer from joint discomfort, arthritis, cartilage issues or limited range of movement. 

Classes Tues noon-1:30 at 250 Bell, Thurs 5 pm-6:30 at the Reno Buddhist Ctr., and 10 am-Noon Sat at 250 Bell St., Reno.
