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

The shoulders are related to everything we do: they are impacted by the tiny movements we do on our phones or with our mouse; their health allows us to have freedom in the chest and neck. Metaphorically, we shoulder our troubles, we shrug off difficulties. Shoulders can be tender places, but also incredibly adaptable, with more potential movement than any other joint in the body.

Learn some functional anatomy of your shoulder, the related structures and get a sense of the way they interact. In Feldenkrais methodology, we free ourselves by unwinding dysfunctional habits, and creating opportunities for the nervous system to find a more functional way. We will play with ways to help us integrate our shoulder into the movement of our whole body, as well as helping restore the impressive amount of movement potential of this ball joint.

This movement-centered class will help you find more supported movement and strength in your arm and shoulder girdle, and likely some comfort throughout your spine, neck, and ribs as well.

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 will improve how you carry your shoulders, neck, and head.

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
