"The most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for
the prevention and reversal of deterioration of function."
- Margaret Mead

There are two ways of learning the Feldenkrais Method: hands-on individual
lessons and group lessons. Both are based on simple ideas: teaching people to
be aware how they are moving and how to increase their options and comfort:

In a private session, the student lies on a low table, comfortably dressed, while Janelle uses sophisticated techniques of gentle touch to reorganize posture, movement and self-image. It is used to alleviate pain and movement restriction, and to expand mental and physical functioning. Available at any time by appointment.
  
Group classes consist of effortless exercises that create dramatic, immediate improvements in flexibility, posture, coordination and comfort.

Comfortable and Dynamic Walking

Half-day workshop ~ Saturday May 29th, 10am-1pm ~ $35
Fremont Abbey Arts Center ~ 4272 Fremont Ave N (map)

 
Comfortable walking contributes to a happy and healthy life. A satisfying walk is a joy at any stages or age of your life, but dynamic movement becomes more essential as we age to prevent limitations and conditions such as osteoporosis. No matter what your age or history, more ease is the direct result of how you move.

This course will lead you through movements designed to improve the full-bodied aspects of walking. You will experience the interdependent relationships between the hip joints, spine, ribs, shoulder blades, and head as they respond to the impact of stepping. Each person receives individual attention and is given lessons to take home that are customized to their particular needs.

Good alignment and optimal posture is essential for preventing injuries, developing endurance and boosting the enjoyment of everyday living.

This class is not only beneficial as osteoporosis reduction, but helps everyone in any kind of weight-bearing activity: walking, running, dancing and jumping.  All ages, all abilities and all movement challenges are welcome.

  • Stimulate your bone strength.
  • Experience the “biological optimism” of a reliable skeleton.
  • Coordinate a springy and dynamic walk.
  • Align your posture into safe weight-bearing uprightness.
  • Develop your skill of restoring equilibrium.
  • Enjoy the simple pleasure of moving.

This Bones For Life program for stimulating bone strength through natural movement and weight bearing posture was developed by Ruthy Alon, based on Dr. Fedenkrais's approach to somatic learning. Janelle Keane Campoverde is a Bones For Life instructor under the mentorship of Ms. Alon and is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner experienced in working with injuries, conditions, and movement-related concerns.
