Special FELDENKRAIS Series
What is Feldenkrais?
Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons are verbally guided movements exploring the fundamental biological patterns that allow for pain-free movement. By slowing down and reducing unnecessary effort, we become more aware of our habits and preferences and tap into comfort and ease. People often complain that exercise is boring. This is because our nervous system is curious and feeds on novelty. Feldenkrais uses subtle variation and surprising movement sequences to reengage the body-mind connection. For most, a difference can be felt after one lesson. Regular attendance deepens this sensitivity and the ability to integrate lessons into daily life.
