Feldenkrais at Evergreen
Classes taught by Diane Park, GCFP
What is Feldenkrais?
...Awareness through movement
- Explore ways of being in your body that are easy, relaxed and pleasurable.
- Unlock unwanted habits, reducing stress and fatigue.
- Discover how, as you expand your self-awareness, the possibilities for improvement and development become limitless.
- Class involves simple, guided movement progressions, giving attention to subtleness and relaxation.
Class is offered on Saturdays @ 11:00 AM at Evergreen
Groundwork class:
Start with Pilates matwork as a template and layer with the awareness of Feldenkrais to clarify and refine the use of self. Keeping a slow and easy pace and reducing effort allows you to recognize habits and favorings that restrict movement and create tension, imbalance and discomfort in your body. Rather than gripping muscles and efforting, you become able to access the body's natural abilities to move in a more responsive way and adapt easily as needed. Functional strength, suppleness and a much greater sense of well-being are the result.
| Classes are offered | Tuesdays/Thursday @ noon Saturdays @ 9:45AM at Evergreen |
