Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® Classes
Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® (ATM®) classes utilize gentle movements and mindful awareness to change habitual movement patterns that cause tension. The teacher will verbally guide you through a series of movements which teach the body/brain new options for ease. During class you are not expected to look like the instructor or the person next to you. Rather, ATMs meet you where you are and access your inherent ability to improve. The aim is improved function, reduced pain, and greater ease in one's body and life. Alison is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais practitioner. When: May 1st-22nd, 2023. Mondays, 6:30-7:45 pm, EST.
Where: Online via Zoom. (In person in North Bethesda, Maryland)
