An experiential introduction to the Feldenkrais Method®
Discover what conventional fitness often leaves out, and how developing a clearer sense of your body in movement can improve coordination and help make exercise work for you, not against you.
What if some of the things you’ve been taught about exercise are getting in the way?
A unique afternoon to explore common assumptions about exercise, posture, strength and aging through the Feldenkrais Method®.
Does stretching always make you feel more flexible?
Does good posture mean standing up straight?
Is working harder necessarily working better?

Homebase – Your Vertical Axis
Whether you want to improve your walking, refine your technique in a sport, or recover from injury, finding your central axis can make a profound difference. Through guided movement, you’ll learn to feel when you’re centered, and when you’re not, and discover how moving through your vertical axis can make movement easier and more efficient.

Is Your Exercise Routine Secretly Working Against You?
Could some of the effort you put into exercise actually be making you feel weaker? We all develop habits of movement and unnecessary contraction that become invisible to us. This Feldenkrais lesson explores how noticing those habits can reveal and help you to adopt new possibilities for exercising with greater ease, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Don’t Just Build a Stronger Version of Your Crooked Self
What happens when you add strength to movement patterns that are already inefficient? Simply working to get stronger isn’t always the first answer. By paying attention to what you feel as you move and how you organize yourself, you’ll discover how better coordination can help you use the strength you already have more effectively and create a better foundation for becoming stronger.

The Undercurrent of Exercise: Effortless Coordination, Spiral and Flow
Strength and endurance can be developed through exercise. Movement practice develops our capacity to coordinate them—to sense effort, timing, and change. Through alignment, lengthening, and interconnected movement, discover greater ease, spatial awareness, and fluid transitions. Move with more clarity, efficiency, and connection, becoming more attuned to the whole self.
