Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®
With Cynthia Allen, GCFP, STMI
The first class is free!
Freedom in movement requires: Fluidity, rhythm, ease and nuance.
And all that gets better with a little curiosity and improvisation. Be prepared to be transformed by these classic Feldenkrais® “Bowing” lessons that focus on freeing the arms, creating responsiveness in the torso, and providing relief for sore shoulders and stiff necks.
Do you struggle with any of these?
- Neck pain
- Shoulder strain or injury
- Stiff hands/fingers
- Eye Strain
- Anxiety when under pressure
- Trouble taking easy, full breaths
- Consistently ignoring or missing the warning signs your body is giving you
In today’s society, it is rare that one is exempt from using their fingers, hands, and arms in repetitive ways. Repetitive means strenuous, even if you are only “working” your smartphone or a computer keyboard. Whether you are playing in a symphony orchestra, chopping vegetables as a sous chef, laying bricks at the worksite, or knitting in a chair, you are asking your body to do something it wasn’t really designed to do–hours of repetitive and focused movement.
Sadly, the music our bodies produce while doing these tasks isn’t all that harmonious. Most of us ignore the ache, or push through the strain because we simply don’t know what else to do.
We stretch, take a breath, and then press onward. Over time, the quality of our work deteriorates as does the wear and tear on our body. We come to a full stop when the sound is a CLANG, BANG, or THUD. Ugh!
Chronic tension and injury become the price of making a living or doing what we love.
But does it have to be that way?
I am offering a resounding NO!
It can be different.
How Does it Work?
In this series, you will learn to distribute effort throughout your body instead of relying solely on those overworked shoulders, or that stressed out neck. You will discover new areas of support for your thoracic and arms. Spreading the support throughout the body means less reliance on those fatigued areas. More comfort overall.
Performance and results are important, but in this series, we will let that go. Our focus will be on improving the experience of being human. Creating a judgement free zone that is safe for the nervous system.
Once safety is established, new possibilities can be explored without creating tension, pain or injury. When your nervous system senses calm, it welcomes change and growth. And that is exactly what you will be giving it.
You CAN train yourself to move better. The result? A more relaxed, less stressed nervous system and a more content, less painful you.
