hip & shoulder rehab: the blending of Yoga + Feldenkrais
A 10 class self paced course with Sarah Baumert
Each of the ten classes in this course will infuse a more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method.
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.
But how is this class different than a regular yoga class?
“The significance is truly amazing.. I learned a completely; different approach than how I use to do things. Its made all the difference for me; and, especially; as I age, a much better way to attain a healthy result and well being.”
This will be a nonjudgemental, un-intimidating space to create friends with your body (yourself!), and will specifically focus on learning about your spine and it’s tendencies for movement. You will train your sensitivity in such a way that you find yourself feeling more alive and vibrant.
