FELDENKRAIS® IMMERSIONS | TROY, NY

In this 1-day Awareness Through Movement® immersion, we'll explore how to let go of old limiting patterns and find new freedom in the movements of your spine.

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.

Space is limited to eight. Registration is required.

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.
