This 8 class Awareness Through Movement series will do a complete tour of the function of the pelvic floor muscles.
The pelvic floor muscles are incredibly important muscles for ease in movement. Moving using the pelvis, rather than smaller muscles, is far more functional. These 8 classes will follow through the series titled “Pelvic Clock,” where you are lying on an imaginary clock, circling around the numbers, feeling the weight shifting from left to right/ up to down, and experiencing how the pelvic floor muscles are central in moving yourself.
What you will gain :
– Freedom in the hip joints and all muscles around the hip joints.
– Less tension in the muscles of the legs (hamstrings, quads, glutes and calves).
– Support in standing.
– Ease in the chest – less tension
Dates and Times :
Saturdays @ 1pm EDT
From December 4th to February 5th, 2022 on Zoom
About Awareness Through Movement Classes :
→ In these Awareness Through Movement classes, I verbally lead you through a sequence of movements in a variety of positions. These precisely structured movement explorations involve thinking, sensing, moving and feeling. By increasing awareness, you will learn to abandon habitual patterns of movement and develop new alternatives, resulting in improved flexibility and coordination, less pain, more comfort.
→ It helps counter anxiety by understanding the effect on the body. It really just makes you feel taller, more grounded and relaxed – and who doesn’t want that! Doing Feldenkrais is not only for chronic symptoms or pain, it’s also used to increase skill, to open yourself up to new ideas, find choice in absence, and secure proper and easy aging!
→ Many Awareness Through Movement lessons are based on developmental movements and ordinary functional activities (reaching, standing, lying to sitting, looking behind yourself, etc.). Some are based on more abstract explorations of joint, muscle, and postural relationships. Lessons are fully accessible to those with varying movement possibilities – because lessons can even work in the imagination. Sounds like magic because it is!! The magic of the brain!
"I loved how Andréa offered us different movement exercises that gave me a lot of insight on how I move through the world; even if we were on zoom, I could feel their presence and kindness. They were very generous in their teaching and support during and after classes. "
