exploring Feldenkrais ~ exploring Self

series 4

exploring Feldenkrais ~ exploring Self

In this series we will be going back to some basics: bringing our attention again and again to our thoughts and patterns of feeling, as well as our patterns of movement.

The ways we think, feel, move and act are part of who we have grown into being, from influences of family, genetics, love, confusion, activity and rest. Becoming aware of how we move, what we do, think and feel, gives us an opportunity to change.

"I love how the ways we work with ourselves in class begin to reverberate throughout our lives. For many it means moving more slowly, doing less and sensing more! For most, this is something new.

For others, it means moving more— moving with more variety, moving with more grace and moving with more spontaneity. It means tapping back into one’s inner compulsion to move when there’s been too much stillness and rest when there’s been too much movement. It means getting back to knowing one’s self and trusting the cues we receive from our internal landscapes.

How we move can bring us pain or pleasure. How we move can help us to satiate our more primitive needs like eating and procreating. But how we move can also bring us more into the moment and deeper into our experiences of our selves and our world." Buffy Owens. 

Dancer and movement teacher, Carrie Gerow says " I would say the most fun I am having with it (the Feldenkrais Method) is reconnecting to the wisdom my body already possesses. That it has always possessed. . .  and that I learned not to trust over years and years and years."
