"...We learn to organize ourselves internally to meet challenges
Dr. Feldenkrais, The Elusive Obvious
Join me for an online six session course, where we will explore extraordinary challenges in Awareness through Movement.
Dr. Feldenkrais' endeavor of using movement as the means for self-development has lead him to create numerous strategies and approaches that are implemented in ATM lessons.
He advocates the reduction of effort on the premise that working with ease promotes awareness, improves sensory acuity, and leads to greater efficiency of movement.
Yet many lessons, are constructed around a challenge, where finding the easy path is not so obvious and might even be perceived as impossible. How to deal with such challenges can be quite elusive.
These challenges, crafted to expose and reveal our habitual behavior, create an opportunity for self-observation.
Through noticing one's compulsive reactions a transformational opportunity emerges, calling for a reorganization of our attention and intention.
Each two-hour session includes a full Awareness through Movement lesson in which we explore the lesson's extraordinary challenge. Each session will be accompanied by a discussion and a theoretical overview of the unique opportunities that emerge from the lesson.
