Monthly workshops
In Simorre with Kai Schaper
The themes offered :
1st Term:
Balance and stability
Balance is essential to almost everything we do. However, it is something that is only really considered when it becomes compromised. This can be due to stiffness, injuries, falls, or changes in vision and the ensuing feeling of loss of control and trust in oneself. To address this issue in Feldenkrais™, the point of departure is the idea that balance is dynamic, not static. We are interested in improving whole-body coordination. Discover that feeling grounded and balanced might mean feeling light and at ease and able to move freely, rather than heavy, static and rigid!
2nd Term:
Using the ground to move yourself
Our ability to move efficiently is dependent on how we interact with the surface that supports us, especially the ground under our feet. Although we learn to move in interaction with gravity and the ground – lifting our head, rolling, getting up to stand, and walking – we tend to forget to use the support from the ground well over time. We depend more and more on muscular force, we brace ourselves and create stress, strain and shearing forces in our joints. These classes will familiarize you with an essential aspect of your relationship with the environment.
3rd Term:
The foot, a flexible foundation
Our feet are more complex than we tend to perceive them. They consist of 26 bones which are connected by a large number of articulations. All too often however, we enclose them in inappropriate shoes and have them walk on boring, hard pavements. Hence they themselves become hard, unflexible and numb. This makes us lose stability and balance and creates lots of tension throughout the whole body. Get to know your feet better in this course, make them softer, more flexible and more intelligent, and savour the soothing effect on your self.
