Learn to bring yourself down before gravity takes you down!
In Canada, 85% of injury-related hospitalizations are due to falls, yet many people are not interested in learning how to fall safely until after they’ve fallen badly.
Using the Feldenkrais Method<span class="" style="font-size: xx-small;">TM</span>, students will learn a strategy for bringing themselves down to the floor in an organized way, as well as how to protect their arms and head.
Schedule
Week 1: Bring yourself down to the ground in an organized way with “The Spiral Lesson”
Week 2: Learn “Rolling from the Back into Side-sitting” & combine with “The Spiral Lesson”
Week 3: Practice spiraling & rolling and learn “Rolling onto the back with Arm Slap”

In this day and age, sitting on the floor isn’t something many adults do regularly.
In this 75-minute class, you’ll learn a strategy for sitting down on the floor and (bonus!) how to get back up again without putting unnecessary strain on the joints. Especially useful for students of yoga and other forms of exercises that require going down to—and up from—the floor.
With regular practice, “the spiral lesson” is also an important first step towards alleviating fear of falling. Knowing how to bring yourself down to the ground, and feeling comfortable about being on the ground, reduces the chances of falling with rigidity and fear.
