Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®
Duration: 20 to 60 minute lessons
Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons are easy to do gentle mindful movement explorations. Each lesson is organized around the improvement of a different aspect of human movement and functioning. During the lesson you are verbally led using guided attention through movement sequences. These mindful movement sequences may appear very simple and yet they enhance learning. See the benefits below!
Weekly classes are 60 minutes. Throughout the year look for a surprise popup class of 20 minutes! The lessons are uploaded to the Library with other lessons of varying lengths, for you to do anytime!
How do I prepare for a live online ATM lesson?
Weekly classes
Tuesday 6:00pm + Friday 10:30am Eastern Time
Duration: 60 minutes
In an ATM class online you often are lying on the floor, sometimes seated in a chair and occasionally standing. If you have trouble getting onto the floor, lying on a bed is fine.
Each class may be taken independently, if you miss a class, you can jump in the next one or anytime!
What do I need?
Set up a mat or blanket on the floor (unless you are on a bed). Add an extra blanket if it doesn't feel soft enough. If you are not comfortable your nervous system will not be available to learn!
Have a folded towel or small blanket nearby to have something flat under your head in case you need a head support while on your back or for lying on your side.
We will let you know if you need a chair for a class. A flat seated chair without arms is best, such as a dining room or kitchen chair.
Please wear warm comfortable clothing.
Missed class?
No worries! A class from the week will be uploaded to the Library!
Is this for me?
