even if the expression of their happiness is affecting you. Override the mind"s

Workshop with visiting teacher Matthew Cohen |
|
Matthew Raymond Cohen's Sacred Energy Arts is a method of health and self-development: a
multi-disciplinary approach drawn from Hatha and Taoist yoga,  martial
and healing arts.
While each stands alone as
a great health system with complete transformative methods, together they become stronger, more effective and more interesting.
Discover the grace and power of the ancient martial arts practices;
the balance, flexibility and peace of Hatha yoga and the increased
energy and awareness of the beautiful chi Kung exercises. Avenues Yoga is pleased to offer two opportunities to work with Matthew Cohen (scroll down for details & pricing):

Improve the Way You Bike!
Sat. March 13, 2-5pm
@ Avenues Yoga, 68 K
St.
$40 prepaid, $45 drop in
 Imagine what it would be like to bike without
neck pain, without the shoulders being sore, without feeling like a turtle
afterwards...
In this workshop we will explore ways to find more ease and
efficiency in biking. From the head and neck to the knees, ankles and feet we
will see how to find the most power with the least amount of strain and the
greatest degree of pleasure and enjoyment. Whether you're a novice or a racer,
you'll find practical information which can help your form every time you climb
on your bike. As always, our medium for exploration will be Awareness Through Movement.
Advance, online registration is available through our Events page.

Improve the Way you Run
|
|
Improve the Way You Run!  Saturday March 20th 2-5pm (the short
version) $40 prepaid, $45 drop in
and
Saturday April 10th, 1-6pm (the complete
version) $75 prepaid, $80 drop in
For many of us the way we develop our running style is by starting to
run - we just "run the way we run." Rarely is there a context where we can
return to exploring our running to see if it is as economical, as powerful or as
enjoyable as it could be. We might attempt to follow instructions from the
experts on the "best" foot strikes or arm swings or vary the shoes we wear - but
is there a way we could we find an internal compass which could reliably lead us
to strong, efficient, and graceful running, directed from the inside by our own
experience and awareness?
In this workshop we will do several Awareness Through Movement® lessons which can
both clarify our experience of the mechanics of running as well as awaken our
capacity to attend to many details of ourselves as we run.
This
workshop is open to those who compete in races, those who have never run, those
who used to run but it hurt too much, and those who think that running is
impossible.
The short running parts of the workshop are optional for
those with injuries, or who do not run, and the learning and discoveries in the
floor lessons (like most things Feldenkrais) can be applied to myriad aspects
of life beyond running.
If you'd like to repeat this workshop,
ask us about a discount for repeat students. To register for either or both
workshops, click here
