Saturday, April 22, 1:30-4:30pm

Clarify use of your shoulder girdle, arms, and hands. Uncover hidden connections between your fingers and your arm pits, between your shoulder blades, through your arms. Taste the possibility of your shoulder girdle floating on your thorax.

Your shoulders are ball-and-socket joints, like your hip joints. Most us overuse our shoulders and arms, and under-utilize the power of our pelvic girdle, low back, and legs. Discover how to re-distribute the work, so your big muscles and bones do their job. 

Move small to go big!

The Method

The Feldenkrais Method® is a unique, potent approach to improving human movement and catalyzing learning and change based on principles of physics, neuroscience and physiology, and the conditions under which the nervous system learns best. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. (1904-1984), a physicist and the first Western black belt in judo, developed the techniques and theory.

 

Angela Alston helps people reconnect with their innate strength using the Feldenkrais Method. She has practiced meditation and Feldenkrais® since 1996, and has taught since 2010. Learn more about training with Angela at Roots of Strength: https://rootsofstrength.net/.

This program is IN-PERSON at 646 Brookilne Avenue. Registration is limited to 15.

Participants will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of registration, and a confirmation email with program details approximately 3-5 days before the program begins. Note that the emails may go to your promotions folder.
