Shorter Days

July 24, 2023/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter /by Gika Rector

The article below was featured in my July 24, 2023, e‑mail newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletter, please use my contact form.

Dear Reader,

Have you noticed that even in the summertime, some days seem shorter than usual? Today was one of those days for me. Lots of driving. Some really nice sessions with clients. Delightful time with two of my granddaughters, and even a bit of time with one of my grown kids. Add in a few errands, and meals, and suddenly a very full day is complete.

I hope yours has been satisfying—and maybe even fun.

Have I mentioned how important the ribs are? Lessons these days—group and private—seem to always involve some attention to the rib cage and sternum. It’s so easy to underestimate the movement potential within the chest, and absolutely delightful to discover what happens when the ribs and sternum soften. Yep, soften. Surprising and delightful.

As usual, our Tuesday online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lesson is free/pay as you wish.

If you’d like to work with me individually, or just ask some questions, you’re welcome to Book an Appointment or reply to this email.
