Feldenkrais
Thursdays 6:15-7:15 pm
$15 per class (package pricing $12)
The Feldenkrais Method is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve movement and enhance human functioning. Through this Method, you can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. These improvements will often generalize to enhance functioning in other aspects of your life.
The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. By expanding the self-image through movement sequences that bring attention to the parts of the self that are out of awareness, the Method enables you to include more of yourself in your functioning movements. Students become more aware of their habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and expand options for new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently and comfortably. back to top
Gyrokinesis
$15 per class (package pricing $12)
GYROKINESIS exercises allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulation. This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movement. These movements stimulate the body's internal organs while different corresponding breathing patterns are integrated along with the movements. Fluidity is the key. Postures are not held for long periods of time. Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected through the use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like a dance and swimming than like traditional yoga. back to top

Qi Gong
$15 per class (package pricing $12)
Qi gong is made up of two Chinese words: qi (pronounced “chee”) means life force or vital energy and gong (pronounced gung) means skill or talent that is developed through regular practice. Thus, qi gong means cultivating vital energies. In traditional Chinese medicine, qi is said to flow through all living things in the universe.
Qi gong is a type of Chinese traditional medicine that emphasizes the coordination of breathing with physical postures and focused intention. Qigong is both physical and mental exercise, and often involves meditation and visualization. Its practitioners develop and enhance their bodies’ vital energy, or ‘qi’, to improve their overall health, vitality, and spiritual well-being. Some forms of essential qigong are taught in conjunction with martial arts traditions such as tai chi and kung fu. back to top

Yoga
Thursdays 6:15-7:15 pm
$15 per class (package pricing $12)
Yoga is both the practice and the experience of the ultimate freedom of the heart. It is both a path to spiritual fulfillment and the experience of fulfillment itself. Through the yoking of our bodies, minds, and hearts to a higher power of existence, we can awaken the shakti, or spiritual energy hidden within, and our highest capabilities are revealed. The more often we experience the state of union through our yoga practice, the more we become established in an elevated vibratory state of consciousness. So when we are confronted with stressful and challenging events in our life, which would normally knock us out of alignment, we are able to sustain our yogic state. We are then better able to respond to difficult situations. back to top
