Weekend of October 1-3, 2010

Your Life Cannot Be Any Easier Than Your Movement: Cortical Field ReeducationĀ® and the Feldenkrais MethodĀ®

Wendy Evans  &  Michael Meyer

How we sit, stand, move, or respond to others reflects patterns wired into our nervous systems in infancy. Conflicting intentions distort these patterns by early childhood. The resulting strategies are deeply ingrained in our muscular postures and movements. They continue to compound and function throughout life, outside our awareness and causing discomfort and limitation. As adults they imprison us and limit our choices.

Experience a weekend of intelligent movement sequences designed to promote the release of deep, often unconscious, muscular contractions. The movements are gentle, sometimes subtle, and always deeply engrossing. If we reeducate our brain-muscle-emotional connections, the restrictions in our movement can be released. Longstanding behaviors can be replaced with freedom of choice and flexibility. This workshop is for beginners or experienced CFR students and equally beneficial for sedentary or active people. It is for anyone who wants to increase physical skills, reduce the risk of injury, address the effects of injury or emotional trauma, and for the professionals who work with them. It is for the chronically tired who want to take better care of their bodies and for those who want to improve posture, flexibility, and breathing. This work can restore greater comfort, fluidity, and childlike wonder. Discover from your own experience how awareness in and of itself is transformative. Please wear comfortable loose clothing. No jeans. Participants must attend every session and must be able to get up from and down to the floor unassisted.

CEUs available for nurses.
