No More Pain in the Neck – Feldenkrais Workshop

If you work at the computer for hours each day you may experience some upper back and neck tension. We do a lot to try to reorganize our work environment but often don’t think of reorganizing ourselves for better movement and more comfort.

In this workshop we will explore what it is that we are doing throughout our day that places strain on the neck. We will learn how to rethink how we are doing these everyday movements in the context of the whole body.

Advanced registration required and space is limited.

$65, mats and refreshments provided.

Recession Proof

During these tough economic times many of us are being forced to cut back on non necessary items and luxuries. However this is not the time to reduce spending on your health and well being.

Continuing your exercise regime and/or other health related classes or sessions helps you feel better, provides a safe social outlet and feeds the brain so that it can think more clearly about options to move ahead.

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes are an economical way to take care of yourself. And you will learn a lot about yourself at the same time.

Join us anytime. Click here to see our full schedule.
