Fantastic turnout for the Walking for Wellbeing workshop last weekend

Last weekend we hosted Lisa and Ruth's Walking for Wellbeing workshop in the Fern Tree Community Hall. And what a fantastic turnout! Forty five people came along: it just shows what an amazing level of interest is developing in our Hobart community, in the Feldenkrais Method.

Here's a testimonial from Anne, and some great pictures. . . 

“. . . . thanks for forwarding the info about the workshop last weekend. What a fabulous day (despite the crowd. . .)!

I have been walking so much more freely since then. In fact, while part of me has been aware that I don't put much weight on my toes as I walk, I find that if I do, the tension in my left hip is reduced. Now I just need to break the habit!

I hadn't realised how little I used my trunk either. I had a tumour removed in my thoracic area about 15 years ago and suspect that it has been set in stone ever since! I now feel far less tension in my shoulders. Now to work on the breaking those ingrained habits”.

These gentle, small movements are how Anne learnt to find the turning in her thoracic spine.

Walking for Wellbeing: Workshop this weekend. . .

We are lucky to have a couple of very experienced compassionate practitioners visiting from Melbourne and offering a walking workshop in Hobart. Lisa Campbell (physiotherapist) and Ruth Frommer (occupational therapist) are both experienced Feldenkrais Practitioners and keen walkers. 

If you would like to walk your way to health and fitness, or to Cradle Mountain, on the streets of Barcelona, the foreshore path, around the golf course, or just to the local cafe: come along!

Walking is a great way to stay physically fit and experience wellbeing. The more efficiently and comfortably you can walk, the more you can enjoy and expand all of your walking activities.

In this workshop Ruth and Lisa will help you learn to:

• Discover how to walk mindfully
• Maximise your ability to walk well
• Explore the link between walking and how you feel
• Reduce the risk of injury and pain due to poor walking habits
