Feldenkrais: All Levels
If you are interested in introspective movement,
you will probably like this class. Feldenkrais
Method is an educational system centered on
movement, aiming to expand and refine the use
of the self through awareness. You will often
be lying down yet sometimes sitting, kneeling
or standing. You will be outwardly moving the
whole time, while simultaneously exploring
a given inward focus. Some of the movement
will feel familiar, but many may not, yet there
will be variations on the theme of familiar
movements. You will also learn more about
anatomy. Feldenkrais increases your awareness
of yourself. Over the sessions you are likely
to find that you are more relaxed, nagging
pains are diminishing, you are feeling more
limber and energetic, and that new options
are opening up for you. Bring a bath towel to
cover the County-supplied mats and if you
desire, a small pillow. (You can take a one-day
