CURRENT TOPIC:
“BALANCE”

Session dates: September 30-November 18, 2020 — but drop ins always welcome!

Balance is something most of us only think about when we lose it. But do we know what we lost or how to find it again? When do we feel unbalanced? During what activity? Is finding it merely a matter of training our strength to hold ourselves up? No. Balance is a dynamic equilibrium. The more mobile we are, the more stable we are and the safer we feel. This series will explore balance training from a Feldenkrais perspective: we’ll discover how freedom of movement in the ankles, knees, hip joints, spine, neck and eyes can improve balance. We’ll also consider many fundamental variables that interact with each other to create balance. You’ll emerge with greater intellectual understanding of the components of balance as well as with strategies to explore to improve your balance.


PREVIOUS TOPIC:
“SEEING CLEARLY”: Moving Toward 2020 Vision

Vision is one of the primary senses through which we experience the world.  In this series of classes, you will learn how to recognize and eliminate many of the most common habits which interfere with easy, effortless vision, and learn new skills which will lead you to see more clearly.  You will discover the intimate relationship between how you use your eyes and how freely (or not) the rest of the body moves.  As you learn to quiet the eyes and move them freely without strain, not only will you begin to see more clearly, your flexibility, coordination, and balance will markedly improve as well.  [This series will include explorations from David Webber’s “Seeing Clearly” program, as well as classic Feldenkrais Method® lessons].             
10 weeks (maybe more!) 6/17/20 – 8/19/20
