“Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.” Moshe Feldenkrais

Join Alice for a deep dive into the key principles of the Feldenkrais Method. An invitation to slow down, this month’s focus will be on breathing - on its depths and versatility - and the incredible possibilities of the diaphragm, ribcage, pelvis (and even the eyes!) to support it. How does your breathing affect the tightness in your hips? Your facial tension? Your levels of anxiety? Your quality of life?

This 90 minute workshop is a safe environment to intimately understand one’s unique movement and behaviour patterns and is an excellent tool for stress and injury management as a result. We will begin with gentle explorations on the mat which will lead to guided movement on our feet with the opportunity to tap into the joy and pleasure of moving with music and increased freedom within oneself!

The Feldenkrais Method was developed by physicist and engineer, Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, as a neurological education. Developing sequences that offer novelty and choice to the nervous system, he was one of the first scientists to understand the human being’s incredible neuroplastic capabilities: our ability to learn and develop continuously throughout our lifetime! He believed that we learn optimally through rest, play, curiosity and awareness and these themes will be interwoven throughout the 90 minutes!
