Be.ing Upright. Feldenkrais Group Workshop
May 7, 2024 @ 10:00 - June 25, 2024 @ 17:00
Our spine is an amazingly complex structure - a unique connection between the head and pelvis. In this course, we explore the different directions of movement of the spine through gentle movements and look for more well-being and lightness. A flexible spine also means pain prevention and more flexibility in our actions.
About Feldenkrais® group lessons
The work in the group is called Awareness through Movement®. In a group lesson, the students initiate the movement themselves. Both the movement sequences and the attention are verbally guided by me. The idea is very similar to that of Functional Integration®: the movements evoke sensory perceptions that are used by the nervous system to reorganize itself.
In addition to the effect of moving more easily and effectively, the personal learning experience triggers a feeling of deep satisfaction and joy in everyone. Learning how to learn makes the Feldenkrais® method a successful means of self-help for back pain or joint problems, but also for a lack of self-confidence, for example.
What the neighbor on the next mat does doesn't matter. It's not about achieving something, nor is it about showing someone something. No matter what age we are, our brain has nothing better to do than learn.
What is Feldenkrais® ?
The Feldenkrais® movement concept is based on the assumption that sensitive self-awareness leads to an improvement in physical abilities. The holistic approach enables change to take place in a person's thoughts, perceptions and actions. All of this goes hand in hand with a change in self-image, and better contact with oneself can be experienced.
