F2E. Slow Down, Sense More, Feel Better: Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement?
Personal Growth | Registration closed 6/14/2025
This 1 hour class meets from 11:00 a.m. to noon.
Description: Awareness Through Movement® is a practice of sensing, feeling, thinking, and moving that helps reduce chronic tension and pain and improve movement in daily life. As students are guided verbally through simple movement sequences, they learn to reduce excess effort, recognize stressful habits, and explore easier alternatives for more freedom, comfort, and pleasure in being embodied. Participants need to be able to get down to the floor (with assistance if needed) and bring adequate padding for lying down, such as a thick mat or two-three yoga blankets, as well as a few towels.
