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

An invitation to slow down, this month’s focus will be on untangling the knots in your jaw, neck, and shoulders. Through physical riddles which soothe your nervous system and ignite your neuroplastic capabilities, we will untie the unique holding patterns around your eyes, face and upper torso and understand how they are all intimately connected. This workshop is ideal for those who experience migraines, insomnia, or anxiety and especially for those who work long hours in front of screens.
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!
