The Feldenkrais Method® offers a gentle and unique approach
to finding balance both physically and mentally. Easy movement
lessons done on the floor, sitting or standing will help you use
your body to be more present for improved balance in standing,
walking, and everyday movement. Learning to bring awareness to
your senses will also help you drop out of your mental chatter,
and bring more peace to your fast paced life. By learning to connect
through your feet, and improve movement in your pelvis and ribcage,
you will begin to feel more grounded and flexible at the same
time.
Students please bring a pad and wear loose comfortable clothing.
Following this workshop, you can continue your journey with ongoing
Awareness Through Movement® classes offered on Tuesdays at
the Senior Center. Instructor Allison Suran, PT, GCFP.

Our
bodies live in the present moment, while sometimes
our minds are elsewhere. True satisfaction only exists
in our Presence, through being consciously alive in
the present moment. The Embodied Life workshop inquires
deeply into this basic, genuine and satisfying reality.
The
workshop will include several gentle Awareness Through
Movement® lessons, in-depth discussions
of awareness and Q & A offered by Russell, as
well as short meditations.
Awareness Through Movement® lessons are ingenious
sensory/motor explorations designed
by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, to improve movement, expand
attentional capacities and develop mental clarity.
As we reduce unnecessary habitual tension, our breathing
and posture become more skeletal, thus easier, more
natural and satisfying. Surprisingly, people at all
levels of health can benefit
from the same lessons.
Meditation
We will explore a simple, non-sectarian approach to
the study of ourselves, through
direct, personal experience of the ‘living truth’.
Settling comfortably into the moment, ‘just as
it is,’ without manipulation, becomes the basis
for living a deeper, more connected life.
Please
bring a blanket, mat, or pad to lie on for the ATM
movement lessons, alternately there is the option
to sit on a chair.

The
meditation we practice is a bare-bones approach to
experiencing the present moment as it is; this is
the basis for being at home in ourselves. Beyond ideology,
it addresses the question: unless we learn to be at
ease within our body/mind, can we ever be deeply at
peace? This workshop is of interest to anyone who
is already on the path towards awakening in this lifetime.
You will experience meaningful and joyful time through
a combination of meditations, Feldenkrais® movements,
and awareness practices and conversation.
The Feldenkrais
Method of Awareness Through Movement® is recognized
as a brilliant sensory/motor approach to re-educating
the nervous system and for developing clear self awareness.
This method is used throughout this workshop. Our
physicality can be a great ally in this process.

About
the Instructor: Russell
began his study of body/mind perspectives and human potential
in 1969 as an undergraduate student in psychology. At this
time he consciously began his commitment toward awareness
and freedom along with his practice of meditation. Russell
is able to help guide people away from self-defeating habits
into happier, more successful and engaging lives.
In
1984 Russell became one of the first people in the world
authorized to lead Feldenkrais® Professional training
programs. He has helped in the training of more than 2000
Feldenkrais teachers in 10 different countries. Russell's
teaching has been strongly influenced by more than thirty
years of meditation, predominately in the Zen tradition.
Perhaps the strongest influences on Russell's life are his
almost 30 years of relationship with Linda and the journey
of fathering his daughter, Lily.
