Come and experience Feldenkrais as we help you create lightness and ease in the legs.
Your teacher Ralph will guide you through a series of floor exercises that soften
and mobilise the legs and coordinate their movement with the pelvis and
back.
The result is easy, graceful walking with a feeling of weightlessness and floating in the legs.
The Feldenkrais Method® (Feldenkrais) is a universal method for improving human life through better movement, sensation, posture and breathing.
What will we cover?
This workshop will involve:
- An explaination of the principles of the Feldenkrais Method®
- Pleasant, safe exercises to free up the legs
- Enjoyable and interesting ways to neutralise the tensions that build up
- Techniques for ongoing self-maintenance.
What will I need?
- Floor space
- A mat or blanket to lie on
- Your device set up so you can be seen on the floor (or, if you prefer, you always have the option to have your video switched off)
