A more supple spine

The Feldenkrais Method is a mind-body approach which leads to better co-ordination, reduced pain and improved posture.
The classes consist of slow verbally-guided movement sequences.
Through these lessons you learn to release chronically tightened muscles, re-pattern your movements and discover your potential for more efficient use of your spine.
The aim is to deepen your self-awareness, relieve stress, strain and excess tension, and discover more natural and easy ways to move.
In this month's longer class we'll be exploring the spine's potential to gently move in all planes: side-bending, rotation, flexion and extension.
A healthy back doesn't need to be super-flexible, but we need to learn how to organise the spine in such a way that the forces travelling through it are distributed in a way which respects its design.
A more efficient use of the whole back and torso promotes better posture and breathing, and more easy, fluid movement, free from either stiffness or collapse.
You'll discover how to activate muscles in the core to support the back, learn about your body’s biomechanics and create efficient, comfortable movement patterns.
The class will be suitable for anyone who can lie comfortably on the floor ; no previous experience needed.
