Episode 95: Posture as A Dynamic System: A Feldenkrais® Approach to Posture
Episode 95:
A podcast in two parts. First, I will be talking about posture as a dynamic system explaining how a Feldenkrais approach to posture restoration is different from other modalities. Then we will go into an abbreviated Feldenkrais lesson. The lesson portion of today is a little taste of the first lesson in the Posture Matters series and begins around 21:30.
Posture, including the tension in the shoulders and the neck that originates from a forwardness of one’s head, is one of the most requested topics I get from students. It’s a difficulty that none of us are immune to. If you are interested in this work, join the Posture Matters series which can always be done as a self-paced course.
Sarah Baumert has been teaching movement and creating Sarah B Yoga podcast classes since 2006. She is a certified yoga teacher, yoga therapist and Feldenkrais® practitioner. This podcast is an intersection of her yoga teaching and training in the Feldenkrais® method. Classes include sensory rich movement experiences for a more resilient and healthy nervous system to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself. Each podcast is an originally crafted class taught by Sarah Baumert. Sarah's teaching is alignment based, unhurried, and rich with somatic inquiries. The cueing is effective, easy to follow, and uses visualizations of postures to allow for unexpected growth and depth. You will find live unplugged versions of her classes from yoga studios, as well as classes that are specifically produced for the podcast medium.
