Movement is life . . . . the quality of our movement affects everything we do and how we are as we do it.
Whether we get out of bed, respond to our phones, sit down to write, interact with our loved ones, movement can be a key path to creating the sort of self-connection and self-care that brings new choice and confident presence alive.
I’m Valerie, and I’ll be sharing these lessons as a path to more physical comfort, and as a way to move from stress or anxiety towards simply being here/now with life as it is.
I’m dedicating this series to furthering compassion, care and clarity in the world through using Feldenkrais Method® Awareness Through Movement® Lessons.
In one hour weekly group sessions*, we’ll use movement sequences to discover ways to bring the qualities we want into daily life, including comfort, ease, presence and compassion. I’ll share with you some of my favourite Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lessons over the sessions. Movements will include lying, crawling, rolling, and other developmental stages, as we repattern our movement for better function and better rest.
Will you join me?
PS. I also offer Feldenkrais individual sessions – contact me if you’d like to see if this is a fit for you.
