Movement   

The Feldenkrais Method uses gentle, dynamic movement with awareness to improve mobility, coordination, balance, and sense of self. It has a profound effect on one’s ability to act with precision, power, ease, and spontaneity in daily life. A casual and accepting atmosphere allows individuals of all ages and abilities to enjoy learning at their own pace.

Feldenkrais is a natural way to treat chronic pain, alleviate stress on joints, and improve posture and dexterity. The practice helps people with backaches or muscle and joint pain to discover new options for easier movement and helps athletes, musicians, and dancers to “fine tune” themselves for competition or performance. After class, you're sure to feel terrific!

Are your hip joints increasingly painful or feel stiff as you age? If stretching and strengthening exercises haven't improved your discomfort, this is the series for you. Led by Patricia Wahl, Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and Movement Coach, you'll discover practical movement skills to enhance your hip and knee joint health. Through lessons that use natural movement patterns of the body, you'll explore and improve your habits, reduce chronic tension and pain, and learn to minimize effort on your hips and knees, all while preserving joint integrity.

These classes are for all abilities and include lying down on the floor. Please bring a mat, a couple of towels for support under your head and/or knees.

 

Tai Chi and Qigong are movement systems based on ancient Chinese medicine and martial arts. They combine slow, fluid movements with breathing and gentle stretching to improve balance and flexibility, increase energy, and improve overall sense of peace and wellbeing. Each session invites you to breathe deeply, move slowly, and cultivate inner calm. Whether you're new to these ancient practices or returning to deepen your experience, this class offers a peaceful space for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-care. All levels welcome. Dress comfortably for outdoor movement.
