Our class takes a survey approach to the principles and practice of Feldenkrais ATM (Awareness Through Movement) study. Each week we highlight the self-improvement principles at work in the lesson so we can take our learning off the mat and maximize the quality of life benefits of a personal Feldenkrais practice.
The life-changing benefits of ATM study include reduced pain, injury recovery and prevention, better balance, flexibility, and strength, more satisfying and sustainable patterns of action (in day-to-day movements as well as athletic and artistic endeavors), enriched self-discovery and personal autonomy, emotional resilience, and a more accessible sense of calm and comfort.
In April we’ll again emphasize presence as we study ATM. Presence—being here now—is a key ingredient in learning and change. It implicitly precedes new awareness, yet we too rarely talk about it. To improve our abilities to learn and act with clarity we’ll examine the shifting and elusive nature of presence more explicitly, practicing it like any other ATM skill.
Together we study Feldenkrais in pursuit of a more skillful, intentional, and joyful life, as we learn to function with more ease, confidence, and pleasure in all that we do.
- We study a wide variety of ATM lessons. Ongoing discussion with students influences my lesson choices. Please contact me with requests for specific lessons or learning topics.
- We enjoy unrecorded discussion after class, for students who attend live and wish to stay to chat.
- Prefer to study on your own? Every lesson is also available on-demand: stream or download the video, audio, and transcribed replay we’ll email later on Tuesdays.
- Newcomers are very welcome, though the last class of the month may not be appropriate for newcomers to Feldenkrais.
The FP Weekly class is an opportunity to be in a lively nurturing dialog of curiosity about the principles and practice of the Feldenkrais Method, so we can harness its wonderful self-improvement tools to move and feel better in all that we do.
See you on the mat,
– Nick
