Unleash Your Sovereign Posture

👑 Discover the Secrets of Regal Posture!

Why do monarchs wear crowns? Only those with ideal posture, power, and agency can bear the weight with grace, whether standing, walking or sitting. In this Feldenkrais® workshop, we will explore the art and skill of maintaining the head perfectly balanced on the spine, ready to move without hesitation in any direction with dignity and ease.

🌟 Why Improving Posture Matters:

  • Efficient movement and balance.
  • Ideal support all the way up from the 26 bones in each foot.
  • Proportional distribution of effort.
  • Rising from the earth rather than collapsing into it when you walk.

The secrets lie in your BRAIN’S Plasticity.

Voice

As soon as we open our mouths and speak, we are in some way judged. Instant assumptions are made about us by others: about our intelligence, our background, class, race, education, abilities, and, ultimately, our power.

Our voices reveal a tremendous amount about us: do we sound empowered or disempowered? Hesitant or confident? Heard or not heard? As soon as we open our mouths we will be influencing the listener in some way.

Join me for an in-person learning experience to improve your voice, using Feldenkrais strategies and principles. Contact me to learn more about this unique in-person opportunity!

Effortless Walking

We will review the basics of well-organized and effortless walking, then bump up the power and propulsion. Learn the art of walking – the way nature meant. After all, we evolved to walk across the surface of the earth… with intention and no wasted energy!

We’ll spend time unpacking the fundamental principles of walking: lying on the floor, sitting, standing…and finally walking. If weather permits, we will take it outdoors. Have Nordic poles? Bring them!

This interactive workshop is appropriate for you whether you are a seasoned power-walker or simply want to walk with no discomfort – and greater ease and elegance.

More powerful evidence that walking is good for our mind, mood and creativity!

Through the Feldenkrais Method® you will learn to use movement as your tool to improve your self-image and experience yourself more fully. How we learn and form habits is of central importance in the practice of the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education. The Feldenkrais Method® utilizes functionally based variation, innovation, and differentiation in sensory-motor activity to break down habitual patterns and allow new ways of thinking, feeling and action to emerge.
