Foundations of the Feldenkrais® Method
presented at Prairie Yoga
4/14/2018, 12 – 4 pm
The Feldenkrais® Method is known as a way of finding ease in physical movement, but it is really much more than that. Rather than being about the body, Feldenkrais is about learning, and learning how to learn. Moshe Feldenkrais used movement as his metaphor because it is readily accessible to everyone. During this workshop, we will use movement to explore the underlying principles behind the method and how to make our endeavors – from learning to play an instrument to doing yoga – about learning as opposed to simply doing.
Open to anyone.

Breathing Through Anxiety
presented as an ONLINE class
begins June 16, 2018
8-weeks, Saturdays

I’ve taught this program as a short-form workshop several times to rave reviews. Now, I’m offering it in an expanded version. This on-line class will allow more time for longer breathing lessons in addition to quick, in-the-moment breathing strategies for easing anxiety – ALL from the comfort of your own home or office. There will also be time to share experiences with the lessons and to ask questions. If you ever feel stressed or suffer from anxiety, this class is for you.

Breathing Through Anxiety
2/18/2018, 12 – 2:30 pm
presented at Prairie Yoga
ANXIETY IS THE NAME WE GIVE TO THE PHYSICAL SENSATION that arises when our natural breath pattern is disrupted and held. Learn to shift your personal sense of anxiety by changing how you breathe. In this workshop, you will experience a Feldenkrais approach to learning to breathe more freely and fully. We’ll combine longer breathing “lessons” designed to re-acquaint your nervous system to organic, effortless breath with quick, in-the-moment, tips for shifting anxiety when it arises.
Open to all

Calm Your Nerves: A Body Centered Approach to Reducing Anxiety, Stress and Tension
presented at Prairie Yoga

How you are wired emotionally affects how you move. Likewise, how you move affects your emotions. Imagine if you had a few simple things you could do to quiet your nervous system so that both your mind and your body could feel more comfortable, even in the middle of a challenge.
For anyone wishing for some calm and lightness in their life. (aka, pretty much everyone!)

Powerful Presence – Move Into Your Power
A Workshop for Women
presented at Prairie Yoga
9/16/2017, 10:30am – 4:30pm
In this workshop, you will use awareness and movement to experience the possibility of shifting your patterns of muscular contraction to attain a more neutral stance and emotional state. This sense of neutrality in carriage and emotion is felt and observed as having a powerful presence. From this place of neutrality, you unburden yourself from unnecessary muscular effort and emotional constraint, and free yourself to respond appropriately to life.
For Women Only.
PLEASE NOTE: Time on flyer is incorrect, correct time is 10:30am – 4:30pm
