FELDENKRAIS® AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT

FELDENKRAIS^® Awareness Through Movement^® lessons provide a gentle exploration of neurophysiological movement patterns that underlie efficiency in human movement. Students lie on comfortable mats, or sit in chairs, while an instructor verbally guides them through a series of movements. With trained guidance, these movement lessons provide a learning opportunity for students to notice how their skeleton and muscles are designed to function and to incorporate these insights into their movement in a gentle, non-goal oriented approach. This learning is in part cognitive, and in part, a sensory process, composed of expanding a person's capacity to sense subtle differences in areas such as weightedness, effort, and direction.

Currently, Bridget Palmer is offering an Awareness Through Movement class in eastern Santa Rosa on Friday mornings from 9:30-10:30 am. The fee is $10. For directions, contact Bridget at (707) 483-5800.
