Stockholm Feldenkrais Awareness & Movement Workshops

Workshops are a good opportunity to get a taste of Feldenkrais. They are particularly directed to music schools, dance schools, or other groups in which participants have a shared context. A workshop's length can be adjusted to the group and the interest area we want to explore together, from a few hours to multiple days.

Life is movement All professions can benefit from more softness in movement. Moving with more ease automatically translates with living with more ease. How different would your life be if you would move in an entirely new way?

For dancers, singers, and actors, their body is their instrument.
For musicians, their instrument is an extension of their body.
For computer workers, the body is the means through which their thoughts mold into the digital world.

No pain, huge gain Whereas other disciplines suggest you to work through the pain, and that feeling pain is a sign that your body is working, in Feldenkrais you learn to feel your limits, to respect them, to work around them, and to use yourself better. You will be looking for your own comfort and pleasure, and to move in a way that feels good.

Experience the present Feldenkrais workshops are an invitation to feel your body the way it is right now, right here. To step away from what you know and what you expect, and give yourself the gift of being there for yourself. Like a musician playing a piece or a dancer performing a coreography, I invite you to be the movement you are making.

How do you like moving? Most of us have a favorite color, prefer the mountains or the sea for holidays, know exactly which pizza toppings they wish for dinner ... but movement? Do you know how you move, and how you like to move?
Getting to know your movement patterns and preferences broadens your self-image, showing you parts of yourself you were not aware of. You will be invited to try different movement variations to discover what, right here, right now, works best for you.

Refine your abilities Feldenkrais workshops are for anybody wishing to become more excellent in what they are already good at: you don't need to be sick to participate. Can you brush your teeth better? Lift boxes easier? Sit in an airplane's cockpit more comfortably? Play the piano lighter? Make the bed with more ease? Mow the lawn with less effort? Dance more freely?
You can find more lightness in every action.

Use your whole self A lot happens when we don't involve our whole self into our actions. You could play ping-pong just with your arm, with the rest of your body stuck in one place: your shoulder will soon ache. You could pick things up from the floor by just bending your back, without involving your hips and knees: your lower back will soon be unhappy. You could be cutting hair with your fingers and wrist alone, forgetting your arm, shoulder, torso, and hips: your wrist will soon burn.
In Feldenkrais workshops we learn to use ourselves both in isolation and as an integrated whole, to protect from injuries and be more comfortable in ourselves.
