Does your “bad back” keep you from being active? Does back ache or pain get in the way of you living life to the fullest? In this class series, you will learn gentle, yet effective movement patterns that exercise your brain and stimulate your body to relax and re-organize. You will learn to elicit an effortless support from your spine that often gets obscured by excess tension and less-than-ideal posture. In short, you will get your back back so you can enjoy life with more comfort, ease, better posture, and more energy.The class is based upon the Feldenkrais Method - a gentle, buy very effective mind-body-movement method that is well-suited to dealing with back discomfort. In this class we will emphasize the benefit of well-organized movement and the importance of how we move and how we use our body. No prior experience with the Feldenkrais Method is necessary. $15 per class or buy a class card. Series runs through October.
