OSHER 305 - Feldenkrais

Learn to improve posture and coordination and to create an overall sense of well-being with fluid, gentle movement sequences. Chronic pain can be reduced and often eliminated as the student learns to move more easily and with awareness. Developed in Israel, the Feldenkrais Method is becoming known around the world as an effective way to improve the quality of one's life. Feldenkrais movements relieve muscular tension and increase flexibility, thereby improving physical comfort. With regular practice people often feel taller and lighter, breathe more freely, and find that their discomforts have eased. They experience relaxation and a sense of release. This class will include exercises to promote bone strength and postural alignment. To participate in this class, you must be able to get up and down from a mat on the floor. Each student is encouraged to find her or his own pace and level of comfort. Class size is limited.
