Awareness Through Movement

The Feldenkrais Method

 
 

What is Awareness Through MovEment (ATM)?

ATM are guided movement lessons that help people develop more awareness about how they move themselves and how they can have more ease and coordination in everyday life.

What is Feldenkrais?

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais developed the ATM method to help people move better based on their own standards of feeling. He famously wrote about teaching movement so that “the impossible could be possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant”.

Who can Benefit?

Anyone can benefit from movement lessons and classes, regardless of physical capacities, age, or body type. Classes support students to integrate novel movements with their breath and feelings so they can improve their self-use.

In this 4 class series, you’ll be introduced to the Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) method. I will verbally guide the group through movement explorations/lessons to support your developing curiosity and ease. During these classes, you can expect to:

  • be guided in a supportive, non-judgemental manner

  • learn more about your habits of how you move through the world

  • move with greater ease and comfort

  • learn how to reduce pain while moving

Most lessons are done on a yoga-like mat or in a chair. During a lesson you will be lying on the floor on your back or side. Occasionally we may explore movements lying on the stomach or sitting in a chair.

No Experience Necessary! Just your Curiosity and Interest!
