Move like the Deer: Natural Grace, Agility and Expanded Awareness

Track: Active Lifestyle

Wednesday May 8th, 2019, at 8 am EDT (New York)

Clear stress, uplift your mental outlook, and improve agility with three easy Feldenkrais® practices in nature. The deer have so much to inspire us in our current situation: they move silently with grace and efficiency through all kinds of terrain. They are alert and can quickly ground themselves and return to ease after a traumatic event. Learning from deer can expand our human awareness to utilize our senses to harmonize with the elements of nature. 

Improve your skeletal connection with the ground for an upright mind and spine. Learn to use elements in nature with guided Feldenkrais lessons to quickly clear your mind, ground and align your body with the environment to improve your balance. These practices will build ease for walking on both literal and metaphoric “uneven ground.”
