Remember Your Bones
If we become aware of our bones, we can find ways of moving to reduce tension and stress. With continued use of the techniques taught in Spinal Awareness programs even long-term pain conditions begin to diminish and often heal.

Sciatic Pain
Sciatica is an example of a pain condition that often involves the disorganization and compression of the lower spine. By working with the whole body, getting it to relax and the skeleton to reorganize, this condition will often begin to heal.

Shoulder Pain
Difficulties with shoulder pain need to be considered in reference to the spine. If the vertebrae of the upper spine are twisted, or compressed together, pain can reflect in the shoulder.

Spinal Awareness : The Essence of Feldenkrais®


Rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient motion.

Spinal Awareness is a blend of movement, touch, and group interaction that enhances flexibility, posture, and helps improve most chronic and acute physical problems. It is based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Chinese-Indonesian Martial Art, and the Esalen Experience. It emphasizes learning how to move in ways that stimulate a deep awareness of the body. Lessons inspired by Indonesian Silat will also be used to stimulate the energy body, effecting internal health and increasing energy. Participate in floor exercises that organize and integrate the spinal column, and standing lessons that provide better balance and fluidity. 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 the improvements. These sessions are safe and noninvasive. Special emphasis will be placed on difficulties participants may have. This program will evolve with humor and playfulness. The teachings will facilitate a return to the childlike energy essential to us all. Designed for both beginners and professionals.
