Classes at Feldenkrais Dublin
Feldenkrais is based on the fact that improving quality of action is possible for everyone, whatever their current movement ability or physical condition.
In a class setting, gentle Awareness through Movement lessons provide an opportunity to develop greater awareness about how you move and how this relates to your structural design. The aim is to explore new ways of co-ordinating yourself that improve functional ease. A great variety of lessons are available, with learning resources for all levels of ability and experience.
Each class takes a simple, everyday action as a theme (such as bending, turning, reaching etc) and guides you to develop a more complete and refined sense of yourself in action. Working according to your own pace, level of ability and comfort, you learn to recognise and adjust counter-productive patterns of muscular activity and to develop more effective alternatives.
Attention is directed to reducing effort, listening to feedback from your body, and seeking out pathways of ease and support. This practice of ‘mindfulness in action’ is in itself a valuable tool that can be applied in any situation in life, to facilitate how we interact with ourselves, others, and the world around us.
