The Feldenkrais Method

The Feldenkrais Method ® is an innovative system of movement education. The intention is to learn greater ease and efficiency of movement. A major theme of this method is that movement is life, and life is movement. When we find more comfort in our movement, we find more comfort and pleasure in our life.

Group classes in the Feldenkrais Method are called Awareness Through Movement ® (ATM). ATM classes consist of verbally guided movement sequences intended to refine habitual and non-habitual movement patterns. Some lessons are very dynamic, including large movements like rolling. Other lessons are quiet; interested in small and subtle actions that are explored in various positions like lying on the ground. All classes value restorative movement ideas like: taking rest & doing less than you can.

This class environment prioritizes comfort, pleasure, and following your instincts. This somatic movement class considers Feldenkrais Method as a tool for movement awareness and as a springboard into improvisational practice. Perfect class for performers, artists, and the movement-curious! All Welcome!

Duration: 1 hour 30
