Term One, 2017. More Feldenkrais and Everyday Life: Moving Naturally
Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes resume on February 9th for a 10 week term, until Easter.
It is such a delight to move more easily and comfortably. As one participant said "Many thanks for your lessons this year. My body feels so much more flexible and 'whole'. I plan to come to class whenever I can".Whatever our age or level of fitness, we can learn to move more easily, with minimum effort and maximum efficiency. . . not through muscle strength, but by increasing the awareness of how our system connects to create our movements.
Our gentle Feldenkrais lessons re-mind and re-make the neurological connections that form the basis of our everyday movements. With these lessons, fundamental movements like reaching (to close your curtains), bending (to tie your laces), rolling over, and getting up from your chair will be simpler and less effort.
Class is on Thursdays at 5.30pm at Hobart Breathing Space, 13b Goulburn Street, Hobart.
Cost: $200 for 10 sessions (OK to pay in 2 installments)
Bookings are essential as space is limited
Drop-ins welcome provided there is space, and if you've missed a few sessions that's OK too: just give me a call!The Drop-in rate is $22 per session.

exploring Feldenkrais ~ exploring Self
The ways we think, feel, move and act are part of who we have grown into being, from influences of family, genetics, love, confusion, activity and rest. Becoming aware of how we move, what we do, think and feel, gives us an opportunity to change.
"I love how the ways we work with ourselves in class begin to reverberate throughout our lives. For many it means moving more slowly, doing less and sensing more! For most, this is something new.
For others, it means moving more— moving with more variety, moving with more grace and moving with more spontaneity. It means tapping back into one’s inner compulsion to move when there’s been too much stillness and rest when there’s been too much movement. It means getting back to knowing one’s self and trusting the cues we receive from our internal landscapes.
How we move can bring us pain or pleasure. How we move can help us to satiate our more primitive needs like eating and procreating. But how we move can also bring us more into the moment and deeper into our experiences of our selves and our world." Buffy Owens.
Dancer and movement teacher, Carrie Gerow says " I would say the most fun I am having with it (the Feldenkrais Method) is reconnecting to the wisdom my body already possesses. That it has always possessed. . . and that I learned not to trust over years and years and years.
Class is on Thursdays at 5.45pm at 13B Goulburn St, Hobart.
Cost: $140 for 7 sessions
Bookings are essential as space is limited.
Drop-ins welcome, and if you've missed a few sessions that's OK too: just give me a call! The Drop-in rate is $22 per session.

Hobart Breathing Space is at 13b Goulburn Street Hobart.I am so pleased to be invited to continue teaching in this loving gentle setting, and to offer a new series of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes.
There's not so much a theme to this series of classes, as an aspiration:
Unfurl Your Self: restore your ease of movement
It is possible to unravel the patterns of tension that contribute to stiff hips, sore knees, low back strain and the general aches and pains that come with injury, strain, stress and age..
You will learn gentle, delicious techniques to reduce tension and stress in your body and your mind. As you learn to move fluently and easily, you will feel more stability through your entire system. These gentle yet powerful movement patterns will help you find confidence, comfort flexibility and freedom in all your daily activities.
Through this series of 8 gentle Awareness through Movement lessons, you can experience improvements without stretching or strengthening, but by learning with the neuroplastic power of your brain.
