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.
