Feldenkrais Class

Heightened Awareness and Improved Movement

In this class, Kaz Shibao will guide you through a series of precisely structured movements to teach you how to relax and abandon habitual patterns. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy movements that gradually increase in range and complexity to reeducate your nervous system. You'll learn optimal new patterns that can relieve pain and muscular tension, improve flexibility and posture, and reduce stress. After these lessons you often feel taller and lighter, more flexible and coordinated, and deeply relaxed. Feldenkrais particularly benefits those experiencing chronic pain and seniors who want to move more effortlessly.

Change Your Age

Change Your Age is a new Feldenkrais program designed to develop more youthful, flexible and stronger functional movements. Stretching and strengthening muscles alone only goes so far – improving how you move as you age is critical and can alter many of the common signs of aging. Lessons build from gentle, sensitive movements to more invigorating postures. You'll learn new skills for improving timing, coordination and balance and dynamic movement patterns to reverse the effects of aging.
