Mid-year classes begin this week

Mindful Movement and Neuroplasticity

An Awareness Through Movement class that trains your nervous system (your brain) through attention to subtle movements of your body.


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

BUT. .  there IS a WORKSHOP NEXT MONTH, AT OKINES COMMUNITY HOUSE

Perhaps you're a singer?
Maybe you just want to learn to help reduce tension and stress in your body? to breathe fluently and easily? to feel more stability through your entire system?

We all love to feel easy in our bodies, to experience joy and comfort in movement.  And how would it be to feel this way, and for your voice to be strong and easy as you sing too? In this Workshop, using the Feldenkrais approach to learning - through movement - you will get a taste of freedom, adaptability and power in your breath, experience this through your voice, and find greater ease, stability and fluidity in your body. Take a look here.

Movement and the Art of Changing your Age!

Using the science and wisdom of the Feldenkrais Method, you can unravel long-held patterns to refresh your body and mind.

The gentle guided movement sequencs we will follow, remind us of movement that - with age or injury- drop out of our mvement vocabulary. The lessons create more ease, grace and vitality: quite literally giving a sense of "Changing your Age" !
