Embodied Resiliency
When life pulls the rug from under our feet how do we respond?
Do we tense up or hold our breath?
Do we collapse in a heap or get wildly busy?
Can we see and hear what is around us?
Can we sense the ground beneath us?
The Feldenkrais Method helps us connect with our quiet, confident and playful selves.
Learning to become more connected with our body and breath; with gravity and ground; and with our environments through our senses is a marvelous gift that awakens new experiences for living a easy, pleasurable and choice filled life.
A more balanced and relaxed state
Talking about resilience is more important than ever in our lives and our world around us.
Resilience is more than - the ability to bounce back from challenges -it is also about being able to return to a more balanced and relaxed state.
There are many things that can be thought of as part of a sense of resilience and can also be felt in our movement and physical organisation.
Our lives are full of challenges and how can we find ways so that we are not perturbed by our life challenges?
How can we find ways to return to a more balanced and calm state?
This course
In this course you will explore how to use support from the environment (usually the floor, sometimes a chair or a wall) to facilitate effective movement.
In the rest of life too, we need to take support from our environment - our friends, family, groups, professionals, books, and ideas - to deal with challenges.
In this course you develop a sense of how your skeleton can support you.
You explore how your skeleton can provide a deep sense of support that you can access to help you deal with life challenges.
About these lessons
In Awareness Through Movement® you learn how to move with minimum effort and maximum ease, not through muscular strength, but through increased awareness of how the body works.
Lying on the floor you are directed through a series of gentle, non-invasive movements that grow gradually more complex.
At the same time you are asked to pay attention to specific sensory feedback. The practitioner instructs you on how to adjust the direction, speed, timing, and force of each movement as the lesson continues.
