Fundamentals and Classics
Every Thursday 6.30-7.30pm (UK time) from 26 Sept - 12 Dec (no class 17 Oct)
​​​
This autumn, we will be going back to exploring fundamental functions and relationships within our selves and our movement through the Feldenkrais Method, encountering classic lessons and discovering new ways to understand ourselves in action.
​
Each week we will encounter a different function or aspect that is key to our sense of being able to move with ease and freedom through our lives. For instance, we will explore our ability to turn through our spine, to round, extend or bend, as well as enlarging our repertoire of possibilities - looking to move with pleasure and reversibility.
​
The first few lessons will explore Fundamental Functions. There will be an early 'half-term' the week of 17th Oct, and then the following weeks we will move through a series of outstanding Classic lessons, that will be useful to return to for yourself.​​
​
Audio recordings of each class are available afterwards, so you don't have to attend the class in person. ​
​
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 afterwards, so you don't have to attend the class in person.
