5-week, online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® series

TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF

Eve Boltax, Feldenkrais practitioner

Fridays, 12:00-1:15pm EST on Zoom

October 25th | November 1st | November 8th | November 15th | November 22nd

Experience a weekly dose of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons to deepen your self-connection, get to know your body better, lubricate your joints, and lighten up your life!

Feldenkrais is a learning system that helps improve human functioning through movement and awareness. ATM lessons gently guide you through mindful “movement puzzles” that encourage you to sense, think, and move in novel ways. 

Because Feldenkrais can affect your life in a variety of ways, we'll be taking time at the end of each class to experiment with how to take the lesson off the mat and into your life. There will be time for writing....or anything that you are moved to try!

The title of this series comes from a poem by John O’Donahue.

In this series, you will learn how to:

-widen your attention

-move with more grace, ease, and comfort

-regulate your nervous system

-reduce your discomfort, pain, and anxiety

-come home to yourself, over and over again

“My purpose is to allow people to move closer to actually being creatures of free choice, to genuinely reflect individual creativity and emotion, freeing the body of habitual tensions and wired-patterns of behavior so that it may respond without inhibition to do what the person wants.”

What students are saying:

"I love this series and hope you do more in the future. It's a tremendous opportunity to learn about myself on all levels."

"Each session I have a moment that suddenly comes when I feel myself and my body in a very unexpected way. Today it happened with the rocking with both feet on the floor and the movement rippling through more of my body. Those are precious moments and show me this possibility. I believe there is a carry over effect of this experience."

"I'm excited to spend more time with these lessons and see how I can still explore my curiosity and do less and then do more in a more aware way. Today's lesson feels really juicy!"
