Loosening and Lightening your Body: A Feldenkrais Introduction
Mar 26, 2023 - Mar 26, 2023
The Feldenkrais Method® is a way of learning/relearning
movement. Since the 1960's it has been of interest to actors,
musicians, sports professionals and dancers because it encourages
learning about habits and possibly creating new options for
movement.
This class is informational: the development of the method
will be followed by a short verbal lesson where participants follow
the instructors prompts in their own bodies. An individual lesson
will also be modeled. Expect to leave the class mentally enlighten
and physically lighter!
Check out these resources to learn more:
- Article from a Feldenkrais practitioner to a class he was going to teach
- A Feldenkrais Trainer using Awareness through Movement lessons as dance
- An enthusiastic dancer/<wbr />Feldenkrais practitioner on the two topics
