Class description:
Feldenkrais group classes are known as Awareness Through Movement lessons. You can expect a class to last somewhere between 45 and 60 minutes. You might walk, stand, or sit in a chair, although usually, you will lie on the floor in a variety of comfortable positions: either on your back, front, or side.The teacher guides students through a sequence of movements, encouraging them to move with gentle attention within a comfortable range.
You may become aware of unexpected and interesting connections within and between the movements. As you attend to the improving quality of movement, unnecessary muscular tensions throughout the body can be reorganized and released.
The students find their own movement 'solutions' to the movement 'problems' that are posed during the lesson. In this way, the student experiences kinesthetic based learning. Students are often amazed at the quick and clear changes that occur through the neuromuscular re-patterning that happens in an Awareness Through Movement lesson!
These lessons tie directly into functional movements of daily life, such as walking efficiently, safely lifting objects, and improving one’s posture in sitting or standing.
Remember to HAVE FUN. Learning to move with ease and grace may initially feel awkward in learning how to move slowly and with intention but you will improve with practice. Hopefully you will begin to feel small changes in how you sense yourself that filter into your everyday life and make life more enjoyable.
We recommend to do these lessons on a hard surface (floor, ground) with a mat or blanket. This way, you will get the most sensory feedback and nuances than lying on soft surfaces (bed, sofa). Please prepare your space prior to practice. Thank you!
