The Blending of Yoga & Feldenkrais Winter Series

An 8 week series with Sarah Baumert
December 4th - February 5th
Mondays 6pm - 7:15pm CST
Live classes will be taught on zoom

Like a snail emerging from it’s shell we shall find ways to meet ourselves in new places, creating  space and feel what it is like living in this body.

Kindness towards ourselves, our bodies is not always soft and easy. It can ask us to meet the resistance within the deepest places of our bodies and hearts. We enter our movement practice with patience, attention, and enthusiasm for slow learning. 

Each class will infuse a more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method. Sarah's teaching for each class changes based on the seasons and the students in the room. These classes are an interdisciplinary excursion of yoga, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, joint specific training, self-massage, breathing exercises, movement puzzles, and a compassionate mindset to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself. You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive, vibrant and spacious. 

For all of you who have been joining Monday nights, this whole body reset is like a maintenance plan! For new comers, come with no expectations. Allow your body to be your guide. All levels are welcome. This will be a nonjudgemental, un-intimidating space to create friends with your body (yourself!). You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive, vibrant, and spacious.  

Mondays 6pm - 7:15pm CST
December 4th - February 5th

”These online Yoga + Feldenkrais courses have become some of my favorite practices ever. I find your classes to be exceptionally supportive and illuminating, and I’ve so benefitted from the learning and the unlearning I’ve experienced. Drop by drop, this practice and what I’ve received from your teaching have radically changed how I am in my body and in my life.
