Dear students and friends,
Just a brief note to update you on classes and give you a little encouragement to be more proactive and playful with your health and wellbeing. The payoff is huge and you'll move better, reduce pain and regain vitality! Taking as few as 3-5 classes will give you a good sense of how you much better you feel after and how you can apply what you learn to all of your other favorite summer and sporting activities.
Being more alive and graceful (not to mention balanced and comfortable) are possibilities for everyone, at every age. And you don't have to go to Greece to find out how! (Please be sure to read the above cartoon if this doesn't make sense to you!) But its true, vitality and grace are two of the clear benefits of taking Feldenkrais classes.
Summer classes tend to be a bit smaller, a little more fun and relaxed than other times, with shorter somewhat different lessons. Summer is a good time to explore classes, especially if you are new or if you've been procrastinating about getting started on a new fitness program. Here is your chance to start sensibly. And you have nothing to lose!

More about our new location!
On the topic of comfort, our lovely and quiet new studio at the Gerber Medical Clinic, 1225 Westfield (for TUES and SAT classes) has a wonderful and very responsive AC system, a great relief during our hot Northern Nevada summers. The temperature is always comfortable, and the atmosphere is always conducive to learning and self discovery.
The new studio is located between Foster and California, just off Booth St. near Reno High School. Come up the stairs using the East entrance, or use the elevator from the West entrance.
The big bonus on SATURDAY is that you can walk over to the Farmers Market at the CVS shopping center after the 10 am class, and before you head home!
Our THURS our ongoing 5 pm Reno Buddhist Ctr. class continues as before.
The cost for classes remains the same: $15 drop-in, 10-class card for $120, or you may use the need-based sliding scale. The full schedule is at the top of this page.

And last, a special tip for riders:
The effects of your balance and body-awareness on your horse:
Lots of folks know this, but many do not. If you love your horse or horses in general and you ride, this is a really important concept to understand. Your body awareness is critical to their comfort and support. Horses will instinctively go to great lengths to balance you— but it is much kinder and better that you sense what’s going on in your own body, feel your skeleton and learn to balance yourself efficiently. Feldenkrais makes it easy to do this.
You become the stable, comfortable riding partner your horse wants and deserves, plugged in and safely organized. Your horse will certainly appreciate this extra support and help.
