Somewhere in India, there’s a stone that says, “Lift your heart, open to grace.” What does that mean, physically and metaphorically? This mini-retreat is an invitation to explore heart-centered movement.
What does it mean to move from the heart? This Feldenkrais mini-retreat invites you to explore heart-centered movement of the hands and arms.
What does it mean to move from the heart? This Feldenkrais mini-retreat invites you to explore heart-centered movement of the hands and arms. We do amazing things with our hands: give and receive, open and close, hold and let go, create and destroy. What happens when the movements of our hands come from the center—the heart?
Spending too much time typing with your thumbs? Or on a laptop? Holding extra tension in your hands, arms or shoulders? Explore gentle ways to restore ease and comfort to your hands—so you can happily resume your favorite activities.
Has your heart been sinking lately? Do you feel the front of yourself caving in toward itself? Is it harder to look up and around you? We’ve all suffered losses, some more dramatic than others. Losses nonetheless. Our bodies reflect these losses in the way we hold ourselves; and that in turn affects our mood and our thinking. This four-week Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement@ course will help you lift your heart. By strengthening the spine, softening the ribs and sternum you can stand up taller, make room for your heart to expand, and lift yourself towards healing and resilience.
Enclosed within the rib cage, our hearts are protected by a complex structure of bone, muscle, cartilage, and other tissue. In an extreme version, protection can become locked in or locked down, immobile. From the Heart, February’s Midweek Moves, will focus on making that rib basket softer and more flexible. When the ribs are not only strong, but also resilient, the heart and lungs can expand more easily, and we can breathe. We can breathe and move with greater ease and resilience—moving from the heart.
