Active Aging (50+) | Feldenkrais®—Awareness Through Movement

About this event

“Ordinarily, we learn just enough to function. But, our ability to function with a greater range of ease and still remains to be developed.” -Moshe Feldenkrais Feldenkrais®, what is it? Feldenkrais, or Awareness Through Movement, concerns itself with the learning of movement. It explores the quality and effectiveness of new movements, and challenges the brain to relearn existing movement skills. In effect, it is reprogramming the brain to optimize movement on a neurological level. Unlike strengthening and stretching exercises, Feldenkrais provides participants with necessary kinesthetic information so that they can become more aware of their own movements and learn to eliminate unnecessary strain and effort. To really understand what this class is all about and what the benefits are, you just have to try it!
