art of moving meditation, has profound effects on our neuro-biology and
produces many health benefits as well as improving strength, balance and

healing art. We now have current medical research to confirm the power of Tai
Chi as an optimal preventive as well as restorative healing technique.

FELDENKRAIS CLASSES
Awareness through Movement® Classes
Feldenkrais® – Awareness through Movement® (ATM) is a
neuro-muscular re-education technique. Developed by physicist, engineer and
martial artist, Moshe Feldenkrais, it is a self-healing after a paralyzing
accident. He applied the principles of
physics to his rehabilitation and was able to become fully functional despite
the words of his physicians. His peers were so astonished that they asked him
to teach them and a new healing technique was born.
Awareness through Movement®
exercises are guided by a certified Feldenkrais® practitioner. They are done on the floor (using a mat) in a
relaxed, effortless state out of the field of gravity. The emphasis is on being aware of ones limits
and working within those boundaries allowing for a gentle release of tension
and holding in the musculature. Thus one
learns from their own body and allows the body to reprogram the mind-body
connections freeing one from habitual patterns that constrain the body and
movement. The overall goal is to
decrease holding patterns that limit function.
The Feldenkrais integrates
movement with thinking, feeling and sensing; it can also expand your potential
in other areas, particularly creativity and problem solving.
Awareness through Movement®
exercises enhances the learning of Tai Chi.
All Workshops include:
Instruction and refinement of Tai
Chi forms
Feldenkrais®-Awareness through
Movement® session
Educational components on the
History and Health Benefits of Tai Chi
