Improving Shoulder and Hip Mobility - class this week

This week's lesson will focus on discovering and exploring our existing range of movement in the two major joints of the body, our shoulder and hip joints. Slowly and gently, we will introduce more appropriate movement as we learn which directions are easy, which are challenging, and will find new accessible movement options. This will improve your comfort in all four joints, as you bring your body/brain map up to date using your attention and sensation. 

The cool part of this is it is also really good for the brain, balance and stability of your limbs relative to the torso. 

Use the contact form above if you are coming to your first class and I'll send you the class handout and answer any questions. Also please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before class starts so we can meet.

A full body movement lesson this week, side-lying, that reorganizes your whole skeletal alignment

We are doing a great side-lying lesson this week, with lengthening and side-bending through the ribs, spine and hips. It also includes mindful work on side-flexors, hips, legs and pelvis. 

It is one of those lessons that most people really feel a really positive after. And it improves breathing. 

It is wonderful for scoliosis and shoulder issues. You'll feel a new relationship between the shoulders and hips/legs. Of course everyone works at their own level and pace, so there is no stress or strain. We do it the Feldenkrais way.

Please contact me using my contact form above if you have questions or want more information. I'll send you the class handout. 

The next classes are Thurs. 5 pm at the Reno Buddhist Center, and 10 am Saturday at 250 Bell St.  Please join us and plan on coming 15 minutes early to your first class.
