Exploring Wisdom of the Body through Feldenkreis
This class series will explore our communication with our body and help us develop a relationship of acceptance, compassion, willingness and trust with our body’s wisdom. We will discover harmony and balance between the mind and body and re-attune all aspects of our being so as to meet whatever is arising with loving awareness — As we give our awareness, our awareness heals us. The class experience is a microfield for what we express in the macrofield, so as we practice care and understanding for ourselves, we bring that to all relationships in our life. In addition, Ilana will embed some images and stories from Kabbalah, our jewish mystical tradition, which are aligned with the original teachings of the method as Feldenkreis himself was related to the Bal Shem Tov.

The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve movement and enhance human functioning. Through this Method, you can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. These will often generalize to enhance functioning in other aspects of your life. By expanding the self-image through movement sequences that bring attention to the parts of the self that are out of awareness, the Method enables you to include more of yourself in your movements and expand options for new ways of being. By increasing sensitivity the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully and comfortably.
