Course Description

Summary

In this course, you'll have the chance to experience the Feldenkrais Method® through a series of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons. The Feldenkrais Method® studies the works of our nervous system and our ability to recognize and create movement patterns that are both more efficient and more pleasant. Feldenkrais lessons will be the framework for exploring how our self-perception affects the way we move. The work in class will focus on small movements and how they interconnect (in various ways) into larger patterns of actions.  The work will also be focused on furthering the understanding of one’s own physicality in the context of everyday life and movement.  The primary emphasis of this course will be placed on how we move and what type of physical organizations best serve our intentions.
