Feldenkrais Functional Integration� (please wear loose clothing)
Misha Forrester, GCFP 1 � hour $95
Custom tailored for the individual, using very gentle manipulations, these sessions convey the experience of comfort, pleasure, and ease of movement. With Misha's informed touch explore more efficient, effective patterns of mobility with your kinesthetic sensations. The primary goal is to build a keener sense of proprioception, which is the important sensory modality in your brain that gives you awareness of your body's internal responses and self-regulates posture and movement. Learn how to "organize" your body motions to move in an expanded, functional manner throughout your entire musculoskeletal being for long-lasting benefits.
Great for anyone with minor aches and pains, hip, feet, or shoulder restrictions, serious neurological problems, as well as those who simply want to move with greater grace, freedom and ease. The Feldenkrais Method� is unlike anything else, working by creating opportunities in which your brain
can help your body. Instead of using muscular effort, Feldenkrais� sessions involve a process of paying attention to your experience while the practitioner allows for small, easy movements. Building a greater awareness of your body's potential for mindful movement is the first step to changing an uncomfortable, habitual pattern and replacing it with one full of greater ease, efficiency, and sensibility. In this unique modality, experience paying attention to yourself and honoring and respecting your sensations.
