"After a few months of regular ATM classes, I am more aware of how I am moving and how different parts of me relate to the whole. For example, in routine tasks at work and at home involving reaching, twisting, bending or lifting, I notice that I am able to avoid strains that are likely to result in pain. I am more aware in general, but not necessarily more self-conscious, which is good. And the class itself is a great tension reducer."
Liz, ATM student

September/October 2011
FALL FOR YOU
Autumn is both the season of the harvest and a time we look forward to starting afresh. We at the Feldenkrais Learning Center will begin a new series of classes and workshops in which you will reap the benefits of long summer days at the same time as your energy is boosted by the coming cooler weather.
Please read our featured article, Learning by Experiment is All in a Day's Play, by Chloe McIvor from "Nature News," to see how studies done at Stanford and MIT of preschoolers' spontaneous experiments exemplify Moshe Feldenkrais's approach to teaching. In Awareness Through Movement classes, students "learn to think without words, with images, patterns, and connections." Dr. Feldenkais taught that "that sort of thinking always leads to a new way of action."
Engaging our curiosity and playfulness, and recapitulating the way we spontaneously learned to move as children enables us to discover a much greater range of movement, an improved quality in moving, and more satisfaction in the ability to move freely. More importantly, we "learn how to learn," a benefit that enriches all aspects of our lives. When we awaken mindfulness and curiosity, we create new options and renew our vitality and youthfulness.
Come join us this fall for weekly classes and Sunday workshops. Our upcoming workshops provide opportunities to "Relieve Neck Pain," and "Learn to Stand Your Ground While Spreading Your Wings." Plus, you can explore "Lessons on a Roller to Improve Your Balance," improve your "Hill Running," and discover "Where Eyes Lead."
We are pleased to welcome our newest faculty member at the FLC this fall. Cynthia Crumlish joins our roster of Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners.cm Cynthia will be teaching a weekly Sunday morning ATM class beginning September 18th at 11:00 a.m.
We all look forward to welcoming you back this fall! |
