Can you say cutting edge? The Feldenkrais Method is an approach that has been developed for over 100 years. Developing a kinesthetic intelligence through movement processes not only leads to finding comfort from tension or injury, it also feeds our ability to think, to access/regulate our emotions and heighten our sensations through a guiding principle of EASE.
Classes includes diverse explorations clarifying natural skeletal patterns that impact fascia, muscles and organ systems while opening the nervous system to new possibilities. Our mind is key to improving ourselves at any age without stretching or pushing past our limits. Feldenkrais was a pioneer in recognizing the power of neuroplasticity, invaluable when taken to a variety of situations from sitting at a desk to lifting weights.
Classes are good reminders. To immerse, please check out our workshops and Certification and Immersion programs. If you are in pain I suggest you consider a private hands on session first.

Qigong and Feldenkrais
Dates TBA
Guided by Brenda Sorkin, GCFP
Brenda@MovementDialogues.com or 704.650.7252
In 2002 I was certified by Chan Zhang to teach what I consider a more feminine qigong form called Dance of the Phoenix. I was interested in studying with a woman because all of my previous qigong forms had been developed by men.
This form has 5 sets of movements aimed at harmonizing energy, massaging your organs, centering your chakras and auras and breaking up negativity. The figure eight, a symbol of infinity, is prominently used in the movements.
You will receive written notes for each set at the end of class to help you with your practice so that you will have the full set by the end of the series. We will enhance the series by drawing from Feldenkrais and Bones for Life for our warm up, increasing the potential of the qigong sets.
Classes are small and can last from 1 to 1 ½ hours. A class can be started with 8 of your friends and consensus on day and time.

"Because touch, more than any other sense, has such ready access to young babies brains, it offers perhaps the best possible opportunity, and one of the easiest, for molding their emotional and mental well-being.”
Lise Eliot, Ph.D. from What's Going On In There
