Next week’s (Feb. 25-Mar 2) Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement class is a short, simple and whole body class that provides comfortable movement in hips, legs, knees, feet, spine, neck, chest, arms and shoulders. Pretty much everything, but especially organizing in feet, legs (and knees), hips and pelvis.
It is a straightforward lesson that is a particularly good one for people who need grounding and balance, or who are new to Feldenkrais or may have started class when we did a more complex, longer or vigorous lesson.
This class will take you in a simple way into your whole body, help you feel a deeper sense of the dynamics of your posture, flexibility, balance and stability. It will pave the way to a new understanding of your skeletal support and structure, and so is a good introductory lesson and reinforcement of basic Feldenkrais principles, e.g., moving slowly, small and mindfully; distributing work through your whole skeleton, not doing any movement that is straining or painful in any way, beginning to know what our movement habits and patterns are, where we find resistance or limitation and where there is ease. Then the nervous system is engaged and the updating of the brain map begins.
If you’ve been hesitating coming to class, or have been only once or twice, I invite you to join us for class next week. It will help you feel more confident about the process and your relationship to improving your learning and moving.
Please come 15 mins early to your first class and be sure to let me know you are coming. I will confirm that I’ve heard from you and send you the class handout if you don’t already have one. That way, we can arrange to talk before class, either via email, on the phone or meet face to face. Or you can contact me using the form on this website, at the top right hand corner.
In any case, let me know if you have any questions, or something to discuss. And when coming to class, be sure to dress warmly in layers. Bring water, a blanket and towel.
