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 spontaneous. 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 their physicality in a pain-free way and enjoying a larger sense of well-being.

El Método Feldenkrais® estudia el funcionamiento de nuestro sistema nervioso y nuestra capacidad para reconocer patrones de movimiento habituales al mismo tiempo que ampliamos la exploración de nuestro hacer, atentos a la repercusión de éste en nuestro organismo y nuestro sentir. El método enfatiza la autoconciencia, la espontaneidad, la distribución del esfuerzo/acción a través de todo el ser, desarrollando la autopercepción y la habilidad de llevar a cabo nuestras intenciones y/o descubrir acciones espontáneas que nos sorprendan. Esta clase es ideal para bailarines y toda persona interesada en ampliar su experiencia de movimiento y disfrutar de un mayor bienestar.

What to expect:
Detailed movement explorations in a pain-free way. You will need a mat and comfortable clothes that facilitate sliding.
