FELDENKRAIS METHOD

​​

WHEN? 

Fridays 12:30 pm

​

ABOUT: 

Feldenkrais is a somatic movement based method in which you learn how to move with much more ease and comfort. Whether this is walking, sitting, practicing your favourite sport, dancing or even recovering from an injury.

Relearn how to organise your skeleton in an efficient way so that you flow together with gravity, allowing your muscles to use the least amount of effort they need for every action that you do. It is an opportunity to revisit your habitual movement and thinking patterns and replace them if necessary with ones that support a more intelligent organisation and better use of self.

Learn how to move from the inside out, attending to how the movement travels through your bones and tissues, rather than how it looks externally.

​

CLASS STRUCTURE:

Usually we begin lying down on the floor with a body scan, helping us to ground ourselves and tap into sensation. I will be guiding you through a sequence of movement that responds to the focus of the class, whether this is for example, the pelvis, the spine, the breath, the eyes. And as you explore the different movements that I offer, the invitation is to stay curious as you move gently and slow, treating your body kindly. This will prevent your muscles from bracing themselves and you will begin to experience a deep sense of lightness, spaciousness and connection throughout the whole of you, learning about the different body parts and how they relate to each other.

​

PRICES:

Single class $25

Concession $20

4 class pack $90 (Save 10%)

8 class pack $160 (save 20%)​

Everybody is welcome! You don't need any experience in movement. Just bring your curiosity and your interest in knowing and enjoying yourself through conscious movement.

​​​Recalling the medicine of movement through different movement sequences using the floor as the main source of sensory feedback, allowing sensation and breath to guide you. Tracking the journey of the attention and deliberately choose where and what to attend to, while holding yourself kindly and lovingly throughout the process. An invitation to explore with curiosity your habitual patterns so that you have more freedom of choice and expand the boundaries of what is possible. As you begin to find more space within and a sense of groundedness, of safety in your physical self, there's more clarity in your mind and lightness, aliveness in your spirit.

Because of the way we live our lives, always in a rush and in a hiperproductive, goal oriented mode, we keep holding and bracing ourselves and this impacts our nervous system creating imbalances at many levels. 

So by attending to ourselves tenderly, moving through the inside out at a very subtle level, giving ourselves time to track sensation and to feel ourselves, so that our skeleton, musculature and fascia can organise in a more efficient way, allowing ourselves to move through life with much more ease, pleasure, authenticity and pain free.
