This week:
Improving the use of the Hands: Softening and Sensing
Our hands do so much for us: they do, they sense, they express. Join us this week as we explore how the use of our hands affects our nervous system and how we can use that connection to increase our sense of calm and quiet - particularly useful in these challenging times. I hope to see you in class this week.

Feldenkrais
A few weeks ago, we did a lesson about rolling from our back to one side and then to the other. This week we will continue this inquiry to explore how we can go From Lying to Sitting and back down again. As in the rolling lesson we are getting back in touch with movements that we did naturally as babies, i.e. developmental movements. Please join us as we look for ease, comfort and pleasure as we move, explore and discover.

Feldenkrais this Week
Last week we explored Flexion: rounding, folding forward, lengthening the back as we soften and shorten the front. This week we will play with Extension: our ability to look up, reach up, and bend gently backwards, lengthening the front of our body and activating the muscles of the back. You will be lying on the floor, part of the time on your belly exploring ways to make extension easier and then on your back, rounding and releasing any unnecessary work and tension. Looking forward to seeing you in class.

Feldenkrais this Week: Don’t Slump?
We are often told not to slump. It’s bad for your posture, your spine, your neck; it’s a position of defeat, of giving up. Don’t slump! Don’t Slouch! And yet, we need to be able to round and lengthen our back, tilt our pelvis back and soften our front – it’s called flexion -- as much as we need to be able to do the opposite – it’s called extension – where our lower back and neck arch and our front lengthens as the back muscles work and contract. In order to be comfortably upright we need to be able to both flex and extend. This week we’ll focus on improving our ability to flex and round, but we’ll do it lying on our side which makes it a totally different experience. I hope you’ll be able to join us.

This week we will focus on the Joy of Rolling. Yes, rolling! We will explore several different ways of rolling from our side to our back and from our back to the other side. Rolling, when done gently, with curiosity and awareness, can feel wonderful, comforting, delicious. It lowers muscle tone and helps to reduce tension throughout the body. We were experts at it when we were babies. I hope you will join us as we rediscover and reclaim some of that expertise.

Feldenkrais this Week:
Please come and join us this week as we explore Movements of the Pelvis and the Shoulders. These gentle movement sequences will help you improve the coordination and functioning of both your shoulders and hips and everything in between. Since you will be lying on your side for most of this lesson you might want to have a pillow(s) or rolled up towel handy for head support and/or hip comfort.

Feldenkrais this Week

This week we’ll be working towards Regaining Full Use of the Neck. Many of us have limited movement of the neck and/or pain with movements in certain directions. Often this is related to how we habitually use our shoulders, ribcage and spine and eyes. Join us as we explore these connections and improve the use of our head and neck.

Feldenkrais this Week

Softening the Face, Shedding the Mask(s). No, not the paper or cloth masks we have been wearing as protection against Covid, but the unconscious, habitual patterns of facial tension and expression that we put on depending on where we are, who we are with, what we are doing or thinking. What happens when we bring awareness to these patterns and let some of them go? Join us this week and find out. There may be some pleasant surprises for you hidden under your mask(s).

Weekly Feldenkrais

Having focused on the upper body for several lessons, this week we'll be doing a lesson that focuses on the feet, ankles, knees and hip joints. We will work on improving the mobility in our ankles and see how that can positively affect our knees and hip joints so we can stand with more ease and comfort and walk with more fluidity and power.

You'll be lying on the floor on your back and on your belly. Have a good mat and some extra padding (towels, cushions or pillows) for comfort. Hope to see you in class.

Weekly Feldenkrais
This week's lessons focus on Bringing Easy Mobility to the Upper Back, Neck and Shoulders. The upper spine and ribcage are the most rigid parts of the back. This rigidity often contributes to neck and shoulder problems. Join us as we explore one of many Feldenkrais lessons that address these issues. During this lesson you'll be lying on your back. Have some support for your head, a towel or cushion, if that allows you to be more comfortable..
