The Feldenkrais Method® studies the works of our nervous system and our ability to recognize and create movement patterns that are both more efficient and more pleasant. The method emphasizes awareness, distribution of effort/action through the whole self, expanding self-perception, and our ability to carry out our intentions. This class is ideal for dancers and people from different backgrounds interested in discovering more about the relationship between thinking, feeling and action and enjoying a larger sense of well-being.

What to expect:
This class is designed for people of all skill level, regardless of movement background, ability or experience. Verbal instruction will guide students through a progression of simple, self-paced, sensory-oriented movements, mostly lying on the floor. Students can change and modify movements according to their own needs and interests at any time.
