In Simorre with Kai Schaper

1st Term:
The mobility of the back

Contrary to common belief that one has to strengthen the back in order to straighten it and get rid of back pain, the Feldenkrais Method™ assumes that it is the natural mobility of the back that takes care of this. On the other hand, any rigidity and stiffness limit the possibilities that the back should have. It is when it recovers its elasticity and manages to react adequately to all demands that it becomes a healthy back.

2nd Term:
Freeing your head

Keeping your head up is becoming increasingly difficult in a world dominated by screens. Unfortunately, we don’t realise that our whole body is adjusting in order for our head to enter the digital world. We suffer from headaches or neck pain, we breathe badly and our vision deteriorates without us knowing why. This term’s theme is about how to get out of this vicious circle, and re-experience the head fully above the trunk and available to move in all directions without hindrance.

3rd Term:
Free arms and shoulders

Apart from strength, mobility is the main characteristic we seek in our arms. It signifies independence of movement. But the shoulders, the hinges with the trunk, also need to be loose for our arms to function properly. Whether we’re playing a musical instrument, practising a martial art, drawing or putting something on a high shelf – the variety of arm movements is obvious and infinite.
