What To Expect

60-Minute Classes

Awareness Through Movement® explores gentle movement and deep discovery. Each lesson is like a movement puzzle that can help create the neuroplastic state—the ability to rewire your brain. In time, this learning type can help you accurately sense yourself in motion and release habits of moving, thinking, feeling, and sensing that keep you from living a life fully expressed. 

The Flow

• CONNECT: We'll begin with some time at the beginning of class to check in and cultivate a safe space for moving.
• MOVE: We'll spend 30-40 minutes exploring ourselves through movement.
• CONNECT: We'll end with a bit of time to reconnect with one another and share our insights.

What You’ll Need

• Have a warm, safe, and comfortable space.
• Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move in.
• Have a mat or rug you can lie on. You can also do this in bed if you cannot easily get down to and up from the floor.

Who is this class good for:

• All are welcome. No previous experience is necessary. 
• This class is included in the Embodied Well Live reMembership

The Roots Of This Work

The Awareness Through Movement® Lessons stem from the rich body of work created by Moshe Feldenkrais, who developed the Feldenkrais Method® during the rich human potential movement of the 1960’s.

“Making the impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant.” —Moshe Feldenkrais
