Spinal Awareness with Humor:
The Essence of Feldenkrais® and Energy Work.
.
Spinal Awareness is a way of learning, not a
therapy or treatment. It is taught with movement,
touch, and group interaction. The work is based
on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Taoist-Chinese-
Indonesian martial art, the Esalen Experience,
and continues to evolve. Spinal Awareness will
improve body awareness, flexibility, posture,
and many chronic and acute conditions of your
body. Problems in your lower back, neck, shoulder,
hips, knees, elbows, ankle, wrist, and jaw are
only some of the physical limitations that will
often benefit from this approach.
These movements are quite different than normal
exercises. Spinal Awareness emphasizes learning
how to move in ways that stimulate your awareness
of your own body. The workshop will present a new
understanding of how tension and injury are often
involved with the disorganization in the skeletal-
muscular parts of the body. Safe and noninvasive
hands-on lessons will be learned that greatly
speed up your improvements.
The workshop will integrate approaches derived
from ancient energetic systems with the fields
of bodywork, movement, and yoga. Touch and movement
methods of protecting and energizing you—grounding,
generating, circulating, and extending energy—will
be shared. The use of joy and humor will be the
undertone of this week. Real freedom in the body
is also freedom of spirit and fun.
This is a program designed for both the beginner
and the professional,
