Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® Lessons
Bring presence, awareness and resilience into everyday life.
Uncover unconscious movement patterns that create and hold your pain. And then, with this understanding, explore new, non-habitual movements that offer a path to greater comfort, improved quality of movement and well-being.
Feel into habitual thinking patterns that trigger stress and spark uncomfortable emotions. Reorganize the connections between your body, your thoughts and your feelings to experience new patterns that support inner calm, resilience and confidence.
Learn to recognize when unconscious effort disrupts the flow of your process. Noticing the relationships within your body’s structure and experimenting with non-habitual connections transforms unconscious effort into an integrated and refined practice of greater ease and grace.
Explore monthly themes to deepen your awareness of body, mind and movement
Each month, our Awareness Through Movement® sessions explore a unique theme designed to deepen your awareness of your body, mind, and movement through focused attention and guided movement-based lessons.
This month’s focus
Aging Mindfully
Enhancing Brain Power Through Movement and Sound Healing
Wellness Seeds 2024 Series
The Importance of Mindful Movement:
Neuroscience research proves that how we move and feel today directly influences our future well-being.
Aging Facts:
As we age, natural declines in neurophysiological functions can lead to:
▹ Slower reflexes—affecting gait, balance and coordination
▹ Decreased flexibility and strength—impacting joyful movement
▹ Decline in cognitive and emotional well-being
What to Expect
In our Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® class, you’ll engage in gentle movements that stimulate both mind and body. These exercises enhance awareness and promote neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt—ultimately improving brain health through focused attention.
During this class, you will:
▹ Explore gentle movements that improve balance and physical ease.
▹ Enhance self-awareness to reduce tension, improve posture, and find inner calm.
▹ Experience deep relaxation and emotional release through the soothing sounds of Himalayan singing bowls.
Do You...
▹ Sense that movement is becoming more of a chore rather than a source of joy?
▹ Struggle with self-image, feeling the weight of declining physical condition and vitality?
▹ Long to reconnect with your body and find relief from tension and pain but don’t know where to start?
If so, join us to ground yourself and move with grace and comfort!
