The Group Class

The movement therapy goal is to facilitate gain of awareness of postural imbalances and improper body use that create strain and unneeded stress. The class is called Awareness Through Movement. It includes gentle, verbally guided movement sequences. The movements are organized around the improvement of a different aspect of human functioning.

  • Unlike traditional exercise, where movements can become mechanical and the objective is to burn calories and gain muscle mass, stretch or train willpower for its own sake, Awareness Through Movement teaches you the secrets to reducing unnecessary muscular effort and improve your awareness of your whole self in action.
  • The process of bringing awareness to your movement will gently awaken your nervous system to ways of moving outside of your habitual patterns, helping to make difficult movements simpler, and easy movements more elegant.
  • The Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Lessons are designed to be a sensory-motor approach based on learning that, becoming more aware of one’s movements, with less effort and more natural to your own organic body.

This can relieve stress, reduce the pain, increase your agility and movement skills for a more enjoyable “live in the moment” feel.
