Feldenkrais: Awareness Through Movement

Date and time

On Mondays, begins Monday, May 6, 2013
5–6 p.m.

Description

Feldenkrais Quote
Awareness Through Movement® (ATM)
lessons give your movements not only strength, but also ease and grace. As a black belt in Judo, an athlete and a scientist, Moshe Feldenkrais (founder of the Feldenkrais Method®) understood how to develop strength, efficiency and elegance in human movement. Bringing attention to how we organize our movements, we can move with greater strength and power-and with less pain and effort. Classes are suitable for almost all fitness levels. Willingness to lie on the floor, and an interest in moving more easily are really about all you need.

Fee

$15 drop in or packages of 6 for $75 or 12 for $120 available.

Bones for Life

Date and time

A New 3-Week Session Starts Monday, April 8, 2013
11:30–12:30 p.m.

Description


Bones for Life (BFL)
is a program based on the premise that bone strength is stimulated through natural movement and weight-bearing posture. It was developed by Ruthy Alon, and is based on Moshe Feldenkrais’ teachings for the re-education of movement habits.

Bones for Life training teaches you safe, non-jarring exercises, through gentle, springy, weight-bearing motions. It helps to stimulate bone health, improves skeletal alignment, improves posture, and balance. It teaches you your natural movement.

“Natural movement, which resonates through every part of the body, integrates them all into graceful harmony. It organizes the body both for stability and flexibility. It inspires trust in the bones as well as in the freedom of the joints. The joy which emerges in performing vigorous movements with ease and success is a constant companion to the dynamic activity. I call this joy, biological optimism. This biological optimism in regaining natural movement is the real benefit of the program; strengthening the bones is the bonus.” Ruthy Alon
