It’s a basket-like structure that protects the heart and lungs. It’s strong\, but it’s also surprisingly flexible. For many of us\, this flexibility is diminished. We move our chests as if they were solid blocks of stone. When we discover how to soften this basket of bones\, all kinds of movement get easier. When the rib cage gets unlocked\, we breathe better\, we bend and turn more easily\, and we stand a little taller. \nThis class is suitable for almost all fitness levels. Willingness to lie on the floor\, and an interest in moving more easily are all you need. \nLocation\nThe Jung Center of Houston (in person) \nTuition\n$75 \nRegister\nRegistration is through the Jung Center’s web site. \n\nNotes:\n\nThis program is being offered in person and will not be recorded. \n \nAll times are CT.

Before we’re even born\, we begin to move the mouth\, perhaps even sucking the thumb. It’s one of the first things that babies explore. Turning to suckle\, making noises\, bringing the hands to the mouth. For all kinds of reasons\, as we get along in life\, we also tend to restrict the movements of the mouth\, sometimes even clamping it shut. In this Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement workshop\, we’ll explore anew the possibilities inherent in opening the mouth\, moving the tongue\, forming sounds\, and relaxing the jaw. \nThis class is suitable for almost all fitness levels.
