Shoulders form a vital junction between the arms and the central body. Efficient coordination at the shoulders produces graceful, powerful actions. But the stresses of modern living and unconscious habits of tension make for strained and inefficient movement.
You will learn how to release and mobilise your arms, shoulders, upper back and whole self to re-discover your own grace and power.
What will we cover?
An introduction to the principles of the Feldenkrais system of movement learning and to human biomechanics.
We will use a classic Feldenkrais movement lesson, “Candlesticks”, to systematically explore coordination through the shoulders to discover maximum efficiency and minimum effort and graceful coordination with the whole body.
The movements will mostly be done lying and sitting on the floor.
The exercises are done gently and easily, at your own pace, so they are suitable for all levels of fitness/unfitness, all levels of flexibility/inflexibility.
