Comfortable loose clothing is preferable. Layers work well, particularly in the winter. A mat or towel is required for all classes.
I encourage everyone to take responsibility for looking after themselves.
As long as you listen to how you feel during the class and stop or modify what we are doing to suit yourself you will be fine.
The Body-Brain Conditioning classes on Mondays and Thursdays tend to attract slightly older people several of whom are in their 80’s.
No not at all. The classes run throughout the year and stop only for public holidays and a break over Christmas. The concession cards for that reason don’t have an expiry date so can be used over an extended period.
It depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a fast aerobic class my work is not what you are after.
If you want to lead a more active, and healthy life, and feel, look and act younger, I would suggest you try a class and then make the decision for yourself.
No, I have several spare ones.
Hatha Yoga addresses the physical body through asanas or complex poses or postures, which are combined together in intelligent sequences and mastered according to a certain prescribed form.
Feldenkrais does not have a goal to achieve “correct” positions or a prescribed form, but rather seeks to develop a more dexterous, painless and efficient body in motion.
Exercising tends to be strengthening what we already know and Feldenkrais is learning to feel differences that we don’t yet know.
Awareness through Movement® lessons are verbally directed so you will not be ’shown’ what to do. You will be encouraged to explore for yourself the functional movements required by the lesson.
“In order to change the way I move, I have to feel the difference: I could move this way or that way. In a real change one of these ways will be new, something I didn’t know before.”
The Feldenkrais Method will help you discover this.
