FELDENKRAIS® IMMERSIONS | TROY, NY

This 1-day Awareness Through Movement® immersion is all about freeing your breath!

Having a free and responsive breath changes everything! In this intensive you’ll learn how to improve the mobility of your ribs, chest and abdomen to make breathing easier. As you free your ribs, your thoracic spine will benefit as well — becoming longer and more fluid. Beyond the physical, you’ll also discover how the quality of your breath can impact the quality of your mind and your emotions.

Space is limited to eight. Registration is required.

Better breathing is simply to have a breath that responds to the ever-changing demands of life. In fact, how you breathe is an indication of how you feel and is intrinsically connected to all of your actions, thoughts and feelings. In this month’s Pay What You Want class, we’ll explore what it’s like to expand into the lobes of our lungs. By exploring ourselves in this way, we become grounded in our physiology and grounded in our anatomy. So come, and let your breath support you as you move through life.

Space is limited and registration is required.

The spine, housing the nerves of our spinal cord, connects every part of the body with the brain. The health of the body depends heavily on the health of the spine. And a healthy, functioning spine nourishes more than just your physical body. It plays a vital role in nourishing your emotional well-being. So come, unwind the effects of a sedentary lifestyle as you expand your awareness and grow your capacity for fluid movement.

This mostly side-lying exploration of flexion and extension is a delicious way to explore getting taller and smaller. When we look at sea creatures opening and closing, flowers unfolding from their buds, the pulsing of galaxies millions of light years away, we feel the connection between that pulsation of life and the gentle perpetual pulsations of our own bodies.

Wellness describes the quality of health or well-being that is fundamental to all humans. This quality of wellness is NOT dependent on physical well-being for its expression. It's an unconditional state of being that may be obscured—but not destroyed—by complex pain or illness. This month we'll focus on cultivating wellness one small step at a time.

Wishing you a wonderful and nourishing Thanksgiving!

How you see the world determines the way in which you move through the world. Our eyes, neck, back, limbs, breathing, and quality of mind are all interconnected. As our thoughts move busily here and there, our eyes respond and move busily here and there. When our posture is tight and tense, our eyes will be tight and tense. When our breathing is held or frozen, our eyes will be held and frozen. So, as we soften our gaze we soften every aspect of the way that we move through life.
