Psoas and diaphragm care: The blending of yoga & feldenkrais
A 10 class self-paced course with Sarah Baumert
Each class in this series will infuse a more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method.
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.
You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive and vibrant.
“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”
But how is this class different than a regular yoga class?
These classes create a nonjudgemental, un-intimidating space to create friends with your body (yourself!), and will specifically focus on helping settle the nervous system.
