This term classes explore the connections of our limbs to ourselves - and how we can improve both their functioning and our ability to sense and co-ordinate ourselves easily, skilfully and powerfully in a wide variety of ways - through improving these embodied relationships.
Thursdays, 2 March - 6 April
Available hands and arms
Our hands and arms do so much for us - but often we can overlook how hard they work. These six classes will investigate how to find greater freedom, delicacy and range of motion in our fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders - as well as looking at how reducing efforts in our hands can have a profoundly calming and grounding effect on how we experience ourselves and our world.
The lessons create a conversation of sensing, feeling, and moving that engages your whole self in a process of organic learning where old habits can be replaced by new awareness and skill.
Unlike conventional exercise:
- You learn at your own pace and in your own way, in the comfort of your own home
- The focus is on the quality of how you move, without strain or pain
- No competing, imitating, or need to 'achieve'
- Rest frequently and whenever you need, or imagine the movements
- Learn to be kind to yourself - experience the benefits in your life
Lessons are usually done either lying on the floor or a yoga mat, and sometimes in sitting or standing. It's good to have a little bit of space around yourself in all directions for the movements. Audio recordings of each class are available upon request.
