Awareness Through Movement is a practice that uses mindful movement exploration to improve the way we function in daily activities and high performance endeavors, such as athletics and performance arts. Some lessons resemble a blend of meditation and gentle yoga; some lessons are like neurological puzzles for the brain; and some lessons focus on developmental movements and how to acquire specific advanced skills.
We host free monthly Awareness Through Movement classes at the Park Branch Library Meeting Room. Please bring a mat or blanket to lie on. Most movements are done lying on the floor.
These lessons were developed by Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, an lsraeli scientist and one of the first Judo black belts in Europe. In accordance with the latest scientific research on brain neuroplasticity, the Feldenkrais Method uses our proprioception, sensory feedback and movements to change our neurological patterns. The practice can help to manage chronic pain, improve function in a variety of activities and elevate mood.
"To make the impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant." - Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais
The class is absolutely free, but donations are always welcome!
