Finding Your Balance: FELDENKRAIS Explorations on a Roller

Learn how safe and playful movements on a roller can enhance our sense of stability and comfort as we move through our busy lives.

As babies, we begin to explore balancing the moment we intentionally move. We experiment with learning when we reach for a toy, or are interested in what happens when we first try to roll over. Maybe you’ve delighted in a baby’s infectious joy in trying and not quite getting back? It is through this playful curiosity that we all gradually gain our sense of balance and ability to move effectively in an upright world.

In this workshop, we will have an opportunity to explore three key components that help us regain a more dynamic balance.

Specifically, we will explore:

— How movements from the center of the body can bring more fluidity, ease and stability;

— How the ground can be our good friend; and

— Ways to check in with our self-use -- and bring us back to a more lively, balanced action.

The roller gives us a unique opportunity to enhance our sense of movement, and safely and pleasurably challenge the nervous system. As you pay attention to the guided movements, you will learn more about how you move, and acquire tools to improve and "Find Your own Balance."
