Our sense of balance is the intersection of physics and neurology. It’s a brilliant human solution to the fundamental challenge of gravity. In this workshop Nick shares practical tips and tools to improve balance. He’ll dispel common misunderstandings, highlight principles of physics and learning you can sense and practice on your own, and lead Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons designed to clarify and improve your sensitivity, suppleness, and coordination – the building blocks of healthy balance.
Feldenkrais newcomers are welcome. The only prerequisite is an ability to lie on a mat for some of our study time, and get back up again safely. Please bring water and two bath towels: one to put on top of your mat so you have your own clean surface if you wish, the other to fold for head support as needed.
…then click “Capp Center” and “Programs”. Then scroll down or enter keyword “Feldenkrais” to find the workshop.
