​Discover yourself through your Sensation
​the primary way of knowing.

When well organized, we are able to balance the head beautifully over our spine as we walk, able to effortlessly and painlessly orient our eyes, mouth, and attention. Whether you have good balance or not, we can improve the function of balance by addressing the way we adapt to and transmit force through our feet, legs, hips, and spine. Stiffness in any of these places can create difficulties: in order to balance well, we need to be able to adapt to changing circumstances and uneven ground.

Learn / explore

• The anatomy of the foot, ankle, and leg relative to balance
• Proprioception and how it works
• Through guided movement we’ll unwind or clarify dysfunctional habits, and find some ease and freedom in our feet, ankles, all the way up through the head and neck.

 
What to Bring:
Yoga mat / blanket
Note pad/pen if you would like

You will find your own deep insights through this facilitated journey through lecture, discussion, Awareness through Movement® lessons (think playful, slow, exploratory floor work), and an opportunity for learning that you can revisit through the audio recording.

Self-Study

Svadyaya is the yogic principle for living that teaches self-study. Discover yourself through your body, the primary way of knowing. 

   Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.

-Moshe Feldenkrais

     This class was excellent! It involves cognitive learning (knowledge through anatomy) and physical learning (and unlearning!) of how balance works through ankles and feet, and spine, and basically everything you are correcting for all the time to stay upright. - DV
