AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT
cultivate ease and efficiency
Group classes | AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT (ATM)
Awareness Through Movement refers to the group class element of the Feldenkrais Method. Each lesson is ~60 minutes and is offered on Zoom or in person. Through oral instruction rather than demonstration, the student discovers their own way through the lesson, uncovering habits and unlocking new sensations and experiences that can lead to profound and lasting results in mobility and freedom from injury. Lessons are always open to people of all ages and abilities, and adaptations can always be made.
ATM class most often takes place lying down, but occasionally in a sitting or standing position. There is a strong emphasis on moving slowly, easily, and staying within the range of personal comfort. ATM is perhaps different from other movement classes in that its goals are not about stretching, strengthening, relaxing, meditating, or imitating. Instead lessons are designed to engage your curiosity in yourself and to refine your innate powers of awareness. I co-teach all classes with Feldenkrais practitioner Jeffrey Wells.

eight week series: april 10 - may 29, 2025
strength
This new 8-Week series will be focused on concepts of strength explored from a Feldenkrais perspective. How do you define strength? How/when do you feel strong? Feldenkrais asserts that moving, sensing, thinking, and feeling are inseparable - can we feel a sense of strength in each of these integral parts of ourselves allowing for a more vibrant whole? When we find our skeletal alignment and integrity, and learn to move from this foundational support, our musculature does the required work, and extraneous effort falls away. Explore ways to feel your strength and resilience in the midst of a changing world.
“. . . Feldenkrais’ approach rests on an appreciation of the fact that a key role of the nervous system is to establish order in the midst of a world that has much chaos in it." --- from the foreword to The Elusive Obvious (M. Feldenkrais), written by Norman Doidge, M.D.

Three Spring Feldenkrais Workshops 2025
with Krista Langberg and Jeffrey Wells
in person at East Lake Aikido
Sunday, March 16 | 10:30a-1:00p | The Map of Yourself
Saturday, April 19 | 1:30-4:00p | The Body Pattern of Anxiety
Sunday, May 18 | 10:30a-1:00p | The Keystone of the Skeleton
When we are in a state of fear, our capacity to act becomes greatly diminished. Feldenkrais asserts that “anxiety appears when deep in ourselves we know that we have no other choice;” our deep unconditioned and conditioned reflexes provide us with protective, but limited possibilities of response. In The Body Pattern of Anxiety on April 19th, we will learn how moving ourselves with intention and being in a continuous and kind process of knowing ourselves more deeply, can change our self-organization to more clearly meet the dynamic world around us. In this workshop, we focus on tapping into our creative potential to imagine and enact alternative ways of moving with the world. As Feldenkrais says “you are as good as you wish; you are certainly more creative at imagining alternatives then you know.”
