Healing with Humor: Feldenkrais® and Energy Work
for Spinal Awareness
In Spinal Awareness we use movement, touch, and
group interaction. This teaching is based on the
work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Chinese-Indonesian
Martial Art, The Esalen Experience, and continues
to evolve.
These movements are quite different than normal
exercises. They emphasize learning how to move in
ways that stimulate your awareness of your own body.
They involve learning to use the floor to organize
and integrate your own spinal column. Standing lessons
lead to a new awareness of ways to move with better
balance and fluidity.
This method improves body awareness, flexibility,
posture and most chronic and acute conditions of
the body. Special emphasis will be placed on any difficulties
of participants such as lower back pain, trouble in the hip, tension
in the neck and shoulders, and knee injuries.
Lessons inspired by Indonesian Silat will be used
to stimulate the energy body, effecting internal
health and increasing energy. These movements, originating
from the monasteries of China and Tibet, further
increase our healing possibilities.
Hands-on lessons will be given that greatly speed
up improvements. These touch sessions are safe and
noninvasive.
This workshop will evolve with humor and playfulness.
Fun partner lessons will help bring about not only
freedom in the body but the return to the childlike
energy so essential to us all.
This is a program designed both for the beginner
and the professional.
