BUZZ with Sandy Kessler

Week of February 15, 2025

FELDENKRAIS
The Feldenkrais method is a somatic practice teaching students to take responsibility for their movement by developing awareness and intention. Participants are encouraged to listen to instructions and there is no physical imitation. The idea is to move easily with minimum force and maximum efficiency.

BUZZ
The BUZZ method is an original method based on Feldenkrais with the addition of rhythm and flow from one movement to the next, encouraging strength, creativity and bone density.

BUZZ ON CHAIRS
This is a lesson sitting “on ” chairs similar to sitting “on” horses, promoting personal rhythm even if the chair doesn’t move.

LECTURE on ERGONOMICS
The lecture includes short films and stories comparing movement in different cultures and includes a dynamic BUZZ on CHAIRS lesson at the end of the lecture

 

Sandy Kessler is an experienced Feldenkrais practitioner and a therapeutic riding instructor. She has developed a unique method called BUZZ, based entirely on Feldenkrais with the addition of rhythm, energy and vibrations to improve bone density and enable each participant to work at their own pace and be creative with their movement. She has worked with riding instructors, teaching them to move more easily with their mounts. She lectures on ergonomics, including a dynamic BUZZ lesson sitting on chairs. She works with school children, as well as senior citizens and office workers, teaching them to become “vibrant” even while sitting in one place.
