Coordinating the Pelvis and the Jaw 🌶️🌶️

Coordinating the pelvis and the jaw for easier turning.

DR. MELODY LIN (C.F.P./ D.M.A./ M.MUS)

Finding Spaces to Breathe 🌶️  

Breathe in. Breathe out. We do this simple activity approximately 20,000 times a day, but when was the last time you paid attention to your breathing? In this Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson, participants are invited to take a journey into the inner world of their lungs, rediscover the full potential and capacity of their breath and enhance their sense of wholeness and wellbeing.

GISELLA WARMENHOVEN

Connecting Pelvis and Shoulder Girdle  🌶️ 

Where you move the shoulder/ arm forwards and backwards, the hip/leg forwards and backwards; together and opposing. It is a clearly structured lesson, slow and includes reversibility. It can be experienced on one side only to fit it into a shorter timeframe and to get a clearer sense of difference for the after scan and when standing up.

ANNA FISHER

Soft hands – Calm Mind   🌶️  

Slow, gentle movements of the hand and arm, can release muscle tension on that side of the body, calm the nervous system and mind. This is a class that people can repeat again on the other side in their own time and is very good for stress and upper body (neck, shoulder, arm) tension. It would highlight the connection between the brain and muscles – how the hand takes up a large area of the motor cortex in the brain map.

RALPH HADDEN BA, CFP

Grounding to Move  🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 

Gently move the pelvis, coordinating with breath, legs, and head to support grounded, flowing movement.

LIZ SENN PHD, BSC(HONS)

Improving Balance – Dancing with the Wall    🌶️ 🌶️ 

We sit on a chair, playing with rocking the foot back and forth, getting a sense of pressure on the bottom of the foot.
We then move to a wall that has some space free of obstacles with a chair nearby for balance and for rest. Standing at the wall, we then explore weight transfer from the outer to the inside of each foot.
We then move back to the chair and work with differentiating the toes of each foot.
We come back to the wall and shift up and down the wall with a focus on transferring weight.

THOMAS SPRING CFP, DIP. HP SAT.YOGA

Work More Comfortably with Digital Devices 🌶️ 🌶️  

Working with digital devices like mobile phones or computer brings it challenges. It can affect our posture, eyesight and breathing. In this lesson you explore how to balance the flexor and extensor muscles to sit and stand upright with greater ease.
Discover and experience the influence of the eyes and tongue have on the position of the head, spine and torso.
