This introductory Feldenkrais Workshop will describe what the Method is and then offer a sample lesson with students in chairs.

These "Awareness Through Movement" lessons are designed to reflect our earliest learning environment when our brains are first developing synaptic connections that set up patterns of movement. Unless we quiet the nervous system down and pay attention to how we move, our choices are limited as habitual patterns become rigid.

Students discover how to reduce unnecessary effort that can cause stress and pain. Automatically, movement and function improve for whatever you want to do.

Moshe Feldenkrais, who was a physicist, discovered how to access new neuronal pathways through a sequence of directed, gentle movements designed to bring focused attention to sensory motor experience. These "Awareness Through Movement" lessons utilize the latest research in neurobiology to create an environment for learning non-habitual patterns of movement.
