Bones for Life Seminar
Guided by Brenda Sorkin, GCFP
Date: TBA 10 am - 1 pm
In our three hour time together we will immerse in enlivening our kinesthetic intelligence through various movement tasks and vibration lying on the floor, sitting and standing. Through the processes of the Bones for Life program we use our senses and a soft focus to allow our nervous system to re-balance and find that place of alignment that supports not only bone health but every system in our body. In this process, our nervous system organizes our natural patterns of movement without stretching or pushing that enables us to take them into our daily lives whether exercising or loading the dishwasher. Feed your system more naturally and enjoy the process.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

How do you find a springy walk? What inhibits you? How could it be easier and feed every system of your body?
In this workshop we will be focusing on the walking pattern and finding how trekking poles support us finding the natural spiral with every step we take. We will be experiencing movement processes on the floor, sitting and standing.
This work is based on the Movement Intelligence programs of Ruthy Alon, Ph.D. Bones for Life and Walk for Life.
There is a pre-requisite of a Bones for Life workshop or Certificate Program.
We will be using trekking poles. There are a limited number available in my office if you do not own a set.
The last 30 minutes we will take a trek outdoors, weather permitting. You will need to be able to access your Zoom link by your smart phone and have some ear buds to hear. If you do not have any, you can purchase an inexpensive pair on Amazon.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.

For this workshop you need to be able to lie on a mat on the floor, sit and stand. If you are in pain, you may want to start with a private hands on session.
What is the one common denominator in any tension, disease or affliction? Movement is the key component to health, and often the most neglected. When we sense our vitality we feel healthy, capable and energetic — unbound. “Vita” refers to a feeling of aliveness which we can find each day.
In this workshop you will have the opportunity to experience a diverse set of movements based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, PhD and Ruthy Alon, PhD, the developer of the Movement Intelligence programs.
More than alignment and stretching. Deepen your strength and balance. Transform tension with Awareness through Movement®. This method of kinesthetic intelligence feeds our ability to think, to access/regulate our emotions and heighten our sensations through a guiding principle of EASE and fluidity connecting you to your vitality.
Enjoy movement processes that translate to your everyday life. Find your vitality and ease. For this workshop you need to be able to lie on a mat on the floor, sit and stand. If you are in pain, you may want to start with a private hands on session.
