FLOURISH: A Yoga + Feldenkrais Online Course
8 classes with Sarah Baumert
In this course, each class will infuse a more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method. I like to keep the theme for these Monday night series open, as I follow the lead of the seasons and needs of the students who attend.
Each of Sarah’s sessions are an interdisciplinary excursion of yoga, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, self-massage, breathing exercises, movement puzzles, and a compassionate mindset to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself. Increase your ease and efficiency in movement, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your natural capacity for graceful and organized movement through these classes.
“I think you have some tricks up your sleeve, that you were having us do specific things that turned out to be specifically wonderful in this series. You have a manner that gives us permission to be kind to our bodies. An hour of that itself really translates into these new wonderful sensations. I am enjoying my body so much more. So glad you have developed your skill and offer it to us! From ANYWHERE!”
But how is this class different than a regular yoga class?
This will be a nonjudgemental, un-intimidating space to create friends with your body (yourself!), and will specifically focus on helping settle the nervous system during these challenging times. You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive and vibrant.
