Workshop this Month: Finding your (Fabulous) Feet

Sunday 30th JULY 2017

Working with clients including people in their nineties, Pamela Kihm describes how Ankle Flexibility is better than working Harder: Have a read!

This Month's Workshop: Help out your Neck and Shoulders. . . 2nd July, 10.30-1pm.

 Movement as a Tonic for your Neck and Shoulders

This 2 1/2 hour workshop is designed to help you improve your posture and find more freedom and lightness in your neck and shoulders. You will learn a new set of skills, in the form of gentle movement sequences, that you can use yourself at home to help ease stiff, sore neck and shoulders.

Whether you are a paddler, surfer, golfer or musician, - or simply in front of your computer a lot - this work offers new ways of understanding yourself in movement and helps you develop more effective, wholesome ways to move. With practice you can develop new sustainable patterns of movement and freedom in your neck and shoulders.​

The video clips of a violinist and a white water kayak-er give a small glimpse of the benefits that are possible, and how we approach things in the Feldenkrais Method. You will be able to have an MP3 file of the lessons to bring home with you too!

When: Sunday 2nd July, 2017, 10.30am - 1.00pm.

Where: Okines Community House, Old Forcett Road Dodges Ferry (next to the Primary School and the Community Garden).

How much: $40 paid in advance, $45 on the day per person.

Mindful Movement and Neuroplasticity: Improving Movement, Reducing Pain and Calming your Mind

Term 3, 2107

An Awareness Through Movement class that trains your nervous system (your brain) through attention to subtle movements of your body. We will be referencing the work of Norman Doidge to help understand how we learn and change through movement.

In each class, you will experience a series of gentle, sequential movements patterns, which serve to re-calibrate your nervous system, creating the opportunity to let go of old patterns of movement (and stiffness, pain and discomfort) and imprint new, simpler, more comfortable ways of moving. And your body and mind will become calmer. . .

More Feldenkrais for Everyday Life: Term 1, 2017

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes resume in a couple of weeks - for a 10 week (9 weeks in Dodges Ferry) term until Easter. 

It is such a delight to move more easily: as one participant said, "Many thanks for your lessons this year. My body feels so much more flexible and 'whole'. I plan to come (to class) whenever I can: I have benefited so, so much from the classes. . .". 

Whatever our age and level of fitness, we can learn to move more easily, with minimum effort and maximum efficiency: not through muscle strength, but by increasing the awareness of how our system connects to create our movements.

Have a look at this video, to see how Feldenkrais lessons re-mind and re-make the neurological connections that form the basis of our everyday movements. With these lessons, fundamental movements like reaching (to close your curtains), bending (to tie your laces), rolling over, and getting up from your chair will be simpler and less effort.

Classes are on Thursdays from February 9th, at

• Hobart Breathing Space at 5.30pm, and
• Women's Health Tasmania (the new name for the Hobart Women's Health Centre) at 1.30pm.

AND

 on Fridays from February 10th at

• Okines Community House at 3.30 in Dodges Ferry.

Spaces are limited, so please email me or call me on 0447 120 688 to book. Drop -ins and beginners are welcome. 

Individual sessions are also available from my private practice in West Hobart. Here is an idea of what happens in an individual session (thanks to Margie Kaye for her time preparing the video for the Australian Feldenkrais Guild).
