Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Workshop
Friday 2nd October 13.45 – 14.45 FREE
With Stephanie Nightingale at Studio 225
The Feldenkrais Method® is a structured yet exploratory approach to movement, learning, and awareness. In an Awareness Through Movement class, you’ll be guided through carefully designed sequences of gentle, slow movements, using attention and curiosity to explore how you move..There is lots of space to explore, notice what you feel and discover more ease, freedom and choice in how you move.
It can be helpful if you have aches, pains or habitual tension, but you don’t need to have anything “wrong” with you to benefit. And for anyone who practises Pilates or Yoga, who dances or plays sport or is interested in refining their movement, it can be a very effective way to create lasting improvements — helping you notice possibilities and subtleties that are easily missed when we move quickly or on autopilot.
It’s also a wonderful practice if you’re interested in mindfulness or meditation. It’s a beautiful way of cultivating present-moment awareness — almost a moving meditation — because the practice asks you to become really interested in what you’re sensing in the moment, rather than rushing towards an end point or trying to make something happen.
There’s something quite profound about discovering how much can change simply by paying closer attention.
