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. . .

 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.​

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!

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

Okines Community House, Main Road Dodges Ferry.
