Spinal Awareness with Humor:
The Essence of Feldenkrais® and Energy Work.
.
Spinal Awareness is a blend of movement, touch,
and group interaction, based on the work of
Moshe Feldenkrais, Chinese-Indonesian martial
art, and the Esalen experience. It continues to
evolve.The movements of Spinal Awareness are quite
different from normal exercises. They emphasize
learning how to move in ways that stimulate your
awareness of your 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. Spinal Awareness also improves body
awareness, flexibility, posture, and most chronic
and acute conditions of the body. Special emphasis
will be placed on any difficulties participants may
have, such as lower back pain, hip trouble, 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 healing possibilities. Safe and
noninvasive hands-on lessons will be presented that
greatly speed up improvements.
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 essential to us all.
This is a program designed for both the beginner and
the professional.
