Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Lessons: Experienced

🌟 Extend Your Feldenkrais Practice with Ingrid Weisfelt's "Awareness Through Movement Lessons" 🌟

What You Should Know Before You Begin 🧐

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons are unique in that they are guided primarily by voice rather than demonstration. This method encourages students to find their own movement solutions, fostering a deep sense of kinesthetic learning. When you engage with these lessons, you're not just following along; you're exploring and discovering movements based on your own body's wisdom.

Course Overview 📚

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement is a mindfulness-based movement practice that enhances your ability to sense, feel, and move with greater awareness and skill. It's not an exercise class; it's a holistic approach to understanding how you move and how that affects your overall well-being. By improving how you move, you can also enhance the way you think and feel, leading to personal growth and new possibilities in all areas of life.

The Importance of Movement 🤸‍♀️✨

Movement is fundamental to human life. By refining your movements with Feldenkrais, you can elevate your awareness and skill, which in turn can improve how you feel, think, and sense. This practice can have therapeutic benefits, sharpen physical skills, and support creativity. It's designed for everyone, regardless of your current movement proficiency.
