Awareness Through Movement Weekly Class At Shift

Mondays, 6-7pm, beginning February 16th In this Feldenkrais Method® group class, students engage their own somatic process of learning, by reconnecting to their natural abilities to move, think, and feel. Led by verbal instruction through a series of gentle movement sequences, students become aware of their neuromuscular habits and rigidities and learn to move in new ways. Learning to move with less effort makes daily life easier, and is an important key to overcoming limitations brought on by stress, misuse, injury, or illness. This process also supports and cultivates mental awareness and creativity. Musicians, actors, dancers and artists of all kinds can extend their abilities and enhance their creativity. Seniors enjoy using it to retain or regain their ability to move without strain or discomfort. Everyone from athletes to artists, attorneys to administrators can benefit from the Feldenkrais Method. Drop-In: $15 **Current SHIFT students and Mary Margaret's dance students: $8 for your first class** Discounted Class Cards: 5 classes $60, 10 classes $100 In guiding her students through movement, Mary Margaret Moore draws upon years of physical training, research, and performance-- first as a collegiate volleyball player then as a professional dancer, and also in the study of yoga, visual culture, and physical theater. The Feldenkrais Method has proven instrumental in her own healing from traumatic injury and chronic pain, and as a touchstone for self-discovery and sparking the creative process. Moore is authorized by the Feldenkrais Guild® of North America to teach Awareness Through Movement.
