Awareness Through Movement®
The Feldenkrais Method is expressed in two parallel forms: Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®.
In Awareness Through Movement classes, students are guided through a sequence of gentle movements. By moving slowly and paying attention, the nervous system discovers new possibilities and lets go of less functional habits or patterns. This results in more efficient movement, a feeling of lightness, reduction in aches and pains, and an increased sense of self-awareness.

The Feldenkrais Method®: Back Into Flexibility -
A Flexible Back For Improved Posture & FunctionThe health of your spine affects all movement, influencing every joint in the body. Explore the four basic directions of movement: folding, side-bending, twisting, and arching. Wake up every movement between the vertebrae to improve the health of your invertebral discs and recover shock absorbancy while improving coordination of core muscles to access strength with less tension. Instructor Tammy Rosen is a certified practitioner of the FELDENKRAIS METHOD® of somatic education.
The Feldenkrais Method®: Releasing TensionRelease chronic tension in the neck, shoulders, jaw and hands while retraining the neuromuscular patterns that created the tension in the first place. These gentle Awareness Through Movement® lessons can alleviate repetitive stress injury, headaches, TMJ and more. .

Functional Integration®
These private, hands-on lessons are deeply relaxing. They will improve range of motion, biomechanics and overall comfort and function quickly using neuromuscular retraining. Through gentle touching and movement, the practitioner will communicate how to move in more expanded functional motor patterns. For example, a client with a repetetive stress injury (RSI) or carpal tunnel problems could utilize more support from her shoulders, ribs, pelvis and spine when she works on the computer, rather than just using her lower arms and wrists.
Each lesson will be custom-tailored to your unique configuration at that particular moment and will never use any invasive or forceful procedure. You will usually lie (fully clothed) on a table for your Functional Integration session, but some sessions may occur in sitting or even standing positions. At times, various props (rollers, padding, etc) will be used in an effort to support your body or to facilitate certain movements.
Appointments available at the DanceLoft or my home studio (Grant/Silverbell) during the week for $50
Appointments at client location: $75
