Awareness Through Movement Classes
Feldenkrais Group Classes in Southampton focus on exploring simple, gentle guided movements, done at your own pace, to explore how your body moves, to allow you to learn to move more efficiently and comfortably. There’s no forcing, no stretching, no pain. It’s about sensing and learning from your body and discovering what works better for you. Feldenkrais is a holistic integration of body and mind. Unique to the Feldenkrais Method of learning is that these lessons tie directly into functional movements of daily life, such as walking efficiently, safely lifting objects, and improving one’s posture in sitting or standing and other everyday activities .
You can expect a group class to last somewhere between 60 minutes. You might walk, stand, or sit in a chair, although usually, you will lie on the floor in a variety of comfortable positions: either on your back, front, or side. The teacher guides you through a sequence of movements, encouraging you to move with careful attention within a comfortable range.
You may become aware of unexpected and interesting connections within and between the movements. As you wait to improve the quality of movement, unnecessary muscular tensions throughout the body can reorganize and release. Clients are often amazed at the quick and clear changes that occur through the neuromuscular repatterning that happens in an Awareness Through Movement lesson leaving you feeling relaxed and refreshed.
