Spring in Your Step

Tuesdays
5:00 - 6:00 PM

This series meets 7 Tuesdays (4/9, 4/16, 4/23, 4/30, 5/7, 5/14, 5/21)

Walking is a uniquely human activity and every individual's way of walking is uniquely theirs. In this series we'll explore movement patters that may...

• Improve your enjoyment of walking.
• Organize your core for more effortless and balanced walking.
• Give you specific things to do while walking when things feel "off" or you experience pain (feet, knees, hips, back).
• Allow you to experience more freedom to move, perhaps putting a bit more spring in your step, just in time for spring!

Subtle Series

Working with breath, image and small movement to evoke huge change

Wednesdays
12:30-1:30 PM

Online

This series meets 7 Wednesdays (4/10, 4/17, 4/24, 5/1, 5/8, 5/15, 5/22).

There are many times when a subtle, refined, small intervention is much more potent than a large, gross intervention. There are also times when larger movements are beyond what your energy tank can support.

This series will allow you to experience the "magic" of Feldenkrais in a whole new way! As the title of this class suggests, these classes will involve a more subtle and refined way of working with your self. Classes will utilize breathing, images and small (even smaller than usual) movements. Possible benefits include:

• Better breathing
• Better balance
• Integration of the right and left sides of your body
• An improved sense of your middle / core and an ability to move from there
• An appreciation for the amazing capacity of your body to re-organize itself

You don't need much of anything to practice Feldenkrais which is one of its many appeals for me. Two props, however, come in handy for Feldenkrais classes - a mat and some kind of head support. If you are just starting with Feldenkrais, there is absolutely no need to buy anything. 

Mat (free, basic)

A yoga mat can work in a pinch, but ultimately you'll need a surface that you can slide on. The combination of a yoga mat with a blanket on top provides cushioning while also allowing the possibility of sliding body parts. This is the basic mat setup I recommend. If you make it past this basic prop description I'll provide a fuller range of options.

If you are uncomfortable lying on the floor with these basic props you could add more layers (mats, blankets). If you are still uncomfortable, I am happy to help you find a setup that works.

Head Support (free, basic)

Folded towels work fine for head support. I suggest 1-2 folded towels for lying on your back, 2-3 for lying on your side. The amount varies by the dimensions and needs of your body. I can help you refine your arrangement in class.

Feel free to stop reading at this point if you are just getting started with Feldenkrais. If you have been doing Feldenkrais for a while and you're hooked, you may be interested in a more detailed description of prop options.
