Workshop Invitation: Embodied Awareness through Open Floor Movement and Feldenkrais

Theme: Exploring the Diverse Textures of Your Body in Daily Life

In every moment of our daily lives, our bodies adapt and respond to the context we are in. Consider how your body shifts when you sit down, engage in conversation with a stranger, speak with a loved one, or lead a team. Each scenario invites subtle changes in your structure, and each role has its unique texture, leading to different corporealities.

We invite you to join us for a unique workshop where we will blend the dynamic, expressive world of Open Floor movement with the mindful, explorative practice of Feldenkrais. Through this fusion, we aim to help you spontaneously become aware of how you use your body across different contexts.

Workshop Highlights:
Skeletal Movement:
Gain a deeper understanding of how your bones support and facilitate your movements. Learn to move with greater ease and efficiency by aligning with your skeletal structure.
Perception:
Enhance your awareness of how you perceive your body in space and in relation to others. Discover how shifting your perception can lead to new ways of moving and interacting.
Nervous System:
Explore how your nervous system plays a crucial role in movement and posture. Experience practices that calm and balance your nervous system, allowing for more fluid and responsive movement.
Movement in Space:
Investigate how you navigate and inhabit space. Use Open Floor dance to express yourself freely and explore the infinite possibilities of movement.

Just as a healthy joint finds balance at its midpoint, we can apply this principle to our whole selves. By finding our own midpoints, we can move through life with greater ease, adaptability, and authenticity.
Join us for this transformative journey where you will:

Cultivate an intimate awareness of how you use your body in various situations.
Discover new ways of organizing yourself to better meet the demands of different roles.
Experience the richness of movement and the subtle shifts that occur in different contexts.
Through the combination of Open Floor movement and Feldenkrais, we will create a space for exploration, discovery, and growth. We look forward to moving with you and uncovering the diverse textures of your embodied experience.
