Light: A 6-Day Feldenkrais Series
Week of December 17, 2022
Celebrate the Season with Light: A 6-day Feldenkrais Series.
Light brings together a week of six gentle, yet vibrant Feldenkrais lessons designed to free your neck, shoulders, eyes, hips, spine, and mind. As your freedom of movement expands each day, you will begin to uncover what you want to light (or kindle) and what you want to lighten (or leave behind) for the new year ahead.
The Feldenkrais Method is all about creating easeful movement and expanding the ways you can move, knowing that the body and brain are intimately connected. Feldenkrais can create awareness and openings for new movement patterns, even when things may have felt long-stuck. In our guided lessons together, you will discover that you can relax the upper back, neck, and traps; release hips and low back; lengthen hamstrings to rock your spin class or hike up Mt. Kuchama; free your shoulders to ace your down dog in yoga, and quiet your nervous system for a sweet night’s sleep.
Light, a movement-rich discovery and celebration of the season, will be one of the best ways to bring the Ranch home with you. You’ll love this joyful, proactive approach to elegant movement habits and feeling wonderful in your skin.
