BodySchool : Exploring The Feldenkrais Method
In this weekend workshop, we’ll explore some Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes. We’ll see how to relate the movements of a particular class to everyday life as well as considering the general application of the skills we learn through practicing the method.
The weekend is intended for anyone, no matter how much or how little expereince of the method you have. There are several thousand different ATM classes and each class is uniquely delivered according to who is present. I’ll choose the classes according to who is coming so you can be sure you’ll be meeting something new!
…
As in all BodySchool workshops, mp3 recordings of all Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement classes will be provided free so that participants can listen at home to the classes presented in the workshop.
