Class DescriptionAwareness through Yoga 60-75 minutes
Where awareness and yoga meet to increase ability to move through life with ease. “If you know what you are doing, you can do what you want” -Moshe Feldenkrais Practicing yoga through the use of the principles of Feldenkrais, we use motion, with close attention, helping us create a clearer picture of ourselves, how we move. This allows us to move--use force--more efficiently. What we do: -Using the poses of yoga, we attend closely to how we move, building on our physical experiences improving the quality of movement, and increasing possibilities for moving. -We unite breath with movement (our breath is an easy way to check in with our physical, emotional, and mental state) -We discover how WE each do yoga, in an individualized way that respects our bodies, how they’ve compensated to adjust for injuries throughout our lives. This is a practice of respect. (that is part of the philosophy of yoga) Yoga specific goals: *will aquaint you with yoga poses, proper alignment *will build strength and deeper understanding of physiology leading to a safe and strong practice *will give you all the skills needed to do yoga, but beyond that, should make your life better. Benefits: * increased flexibility * increase of ease and efficiency in movement * increase joint health and healthy ways of using our joints * better balance and stability * can lead to greater comfort, reduced pain (backs, necks, joints), and greater precision in movements * can lead to better self-use, regardless of the situation. This work affects our lives. |
