Awareness Through Movement®  In group lessons you are guided through novel movement sequences that challenge your brain to find new connections and movement pathways. As muscle patterns unwind and clarify, pain decreases and performance improves.

Upcoming Workshop in June: Find Your Upright Spine  with Erin Ferguson and Al Wadleigh, GCFP
In
this workshop you are guided through novel, gentle movement sequences
that challenge your motor cortex to make new connections and find new
movement pathways. As muscle patterns unwind and clarify, pain
decreases and performance improves. Join
us to challenge old habits and re-member your spine. Date: Saturday, June 8, 1-5pm & Sunday, June 9, 1-4pm Location: Pearl Street Studio Cost: $120 "I have been in several minor car accidents and have had chiropractic and yoga to help regain balance. I have only taken five classes in the Feldenkrais Method and already I have more flexibility and correctness of the spine than yoga and chiropractic combined. My body is better functioning than before the accidents. Erin has helped me build a solid foundation for anything that involved balance, focus, and lengthening of the body. I was amazed at how effortless the classes were, and after only one class I noticed immediate results." -J. W., Niwot, CO In Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lessons you learn how to move with minimum effort and maximum ease, not through muscular
strength, but through increased awareness of how the body works. Lying
on the floor you are directed through a series of gentle, non-invasive
movements that grow increasingly complex. At the same time you are asked to pay attention to specific sensory feedback. The teacher instructs you on how to adjust the direction, speed, timing, and force of each movement as the lesson continues. Often the lessons are like puzzles in which you figure out how to move around fixed constraints. This puzzle-like situation prompts the nervous system to activate a different muscle pattern than you usually use. As a result, at the end of a lesson habitual muscle tension releases. You sense the stability of a balanced skeleton. Your breathing is freer, walking lighter, and eyes clearer. Your kinesthetic perception enhanced, you can move in ways that you thought were restricted. "You must integrate into your movement everything you possess, everything you are. And then the movement will flourish by itself, will become ideal for your body. But as it is, you see, you just try to perform a thing without paying attention to the process. The process is more important than anything else." -Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais Do I need any experience?
