WAKEUP FELDENKRAIS, OFFERINGS

Undo Deficits
Enhance Excellence
Wake Up to the Moment

The goal of this work is to use our wishes
to improve our posture or our yoga or recover from a stroke or
transform a "frozen shoulder" or "sore back" or ouchie neck or
improve our already great skiing or golf, in fact, the whole Glories of Feldenkrais list:
the goal is to use that wish as the lure,
to bring us into a work that wakes us up
to the miracle of life
in the present moment,
and
to having a richer and more meaningful and
satisfying life,
as in LIFE.

Once in the moment, we begin
the path of discovery,
not only out of pain,
not only toward improving what we are already good at,
not only to greater flexibility of mind and body and spirit,
not only to increased and higher levels of organization in moving and thinking,
but to a deeper and more pure and healthy and happy
connection to ourselves.



To be aware will enable miracles to happen.
To be aware is a miracle unto itself.
This is WakeUp Feldenkrais.

The healing is in the learning,
and as we learn,
we not only heal the so-called "problem,"
or improve the already good golf or skiing,
but we increase our level of organization
and our ability to learn
and our ability to be aware.

We increase our possibilities
to have a rich, full and wonderful life.

So we are creating flexibility of our brains
and our bodies
and our potentialities.

Good stuff, amazing stuff, miraculous stuff:

Offerings:

Group Lessons

Slow and aware movements, often lying on the ground/ floor on a mat or blanket. With attention, we can connect to ourselves and move in ways of ease and understanding that we haven’t approached since we were very young.

Even so, the awareness is the goal, while all this sweet improvement and learning is happening.

Touch Guided Lessons, or Functional Integration®

These lessons are one on one and last 45 minutes. The client lies fully clothed on a comfortable and firm low table and is guided in gentle and directed touch in ways that wake up new possibilities of connection, improvement and that wondrous core of ourselves: AWARENESS.

The goal is to come to the sessions in the present, become illuminated and more connected to the present and to leave and go back into ones life with heightened ease, self connection, abilities and awareness.

Although we aren't "fixing" you, because of learning, you will improve in rapid and gentle and amazing ways, that not only improve your life and your moving, but your faith in your ability to change other areas of your life by presence and discovery.
