Now offering
Awareness Through Movement® classes and
private
Functional Integration® sessions
What
is the Feldenkrais Method®?
It is a form of somatic education that uses gentle
movement and directed attention to increase your range of motion, improve
flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for easy,
graceful, efficient movement. Students become aware of habitual neuromuscular
patterns and rigidities and learn to move in new ways.
What
are Awareness Through Movement® classes?
These are group lessons in
which the teacher verbally guides you through a sequence of gentle movements
intended to develop a greater awareness of how you move. The lessons allow you
to explore, with safety and playful curiosity, what might improve your capacity
to function in ways that are more efficient and comfortable.
What
is Functional Integration®?
It
is a one-on-one interaction between you and a certified practitioner, tailored
to your individual interests and needs. Learning takes place through verbal
instruction and gentle, non-invasive, listening touch. During the sessions you
remain fully-clothed, in lying, sitting, or standing positions. Props, such as
pillows, rollers, or blankets may be used to support the body and facilitate
movement.
