Saturday morning for people who move well

Saturday May 12, 9:30 - noon

You are a person who enjoys moving and does it well. You are curious about how you could make improvements but the things you have been doing aren't making any noticeable changes.

Find out what you can learn about yourself by developing greater awareness. Awareness of the things you do well and awareness of ways in which your habits interfere with what you want to do.

Sunday afternoon for people with some difficulty

The Feldenkrais Summit online sessions about the Feldenkrais Method from experts in many different fields.

You used to enjoy moving but things have changed so you are feeling stiff or sore and you wish you knew how to recover some of the enjoyment you used to have.

This Sunday afternoon workshop will show you that it is possible to make gradual improvements in a surprisingly easy way. The movements are small and gentle and you avoid strain or pain. You will need to be able to get down and up from the floor using a chair if need be. Also there are stairs to get to our room.

Feldenkrais Thunder Bay newsletter from Oliver Reimer

In this issue:

recent articles about Feldenkrais in the media

The New York Times

The Daily Telegraph

SenseAbility

new classes begin in April

Not many people know about the Feldenkrais method yet, but now it is starting to be recognized in North America. The chapters in Dr. Norman Doidge's The Brain's Way of Healing, have positioned it with therapies on the leading edge of modern neuroscience. (Even though it has been around for for more than 50 years).

Last fall an article in the New York Times talked about Feldenkrais in the context of chronic pain. The February issue of SenseAbillity has articles related to chronic pain and a short video of Fariya Doctor, my colleague in Niagara.

The Daily Telegraph in the UK has an article with a cheeky title that acknowledges the difficulty many have with remembering and pronouncing the name "Feldenkrais". In European circles it is much better known as an effective way to learn better physical function.

More of us could soon be moved to use the F-word

"The breath-movement technique Feldenkrais is going mainstream."  See the article inThe Daily Telegraph.

Looks like stretching? It is not! It is learning about how slow easy movement experiments can increase your range of motion without strain or struggle. That's why they are smiling.

We are all natural born movers. Somethings we do with great ease and pleasure, but some ways we need to move are no fun. Some seem completely impossible for you except in your dreams.

The good news is that you can learn to transfer what you do well into the areas that are awkward or that could use improvement.

To transfer that movement knowledge you have to know what it is you do that makes a pleasant movement enjoyable. Most of us don't have that kind of awareness - we just do it.

The Feldenkrais Method is a way of learning that awareness of how we use ourselves. You learn to notice ways in which you hamper yourself with crossed signals. You even get better at the things you are already good at.

Here info about current Awareness Through Movement classes.

From IDEA

Most of our clients are short on time these days, so it’s no surprise that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of the top 5 fitness trends of the year (again).

The challenge is that HIIT classes can be unnecessarily tough on the body if not taught or performed properly.

Learn how to teach safe HIIT classes that utilize all intensity variables and get your clients results with the new HIIT Certificate Program (earn up to 9 CECs)!

Train your mind to develop your peace and happiness, stability and grace.

Meditation is the process of training the Mind to serve the Soul, to claim our true identity. With Meditation we develop the Royal Command of the Self to guide our lives, so we can experience joy, happiness, peace and bliss on a consistent basis, not just when something good happens to us. And dive in deep with the 21 Stages of Meditation course!

Meditate deeply and give yourself to the transformational process that will free you to be YOU—stronger, clearer, and more radiant!

This course is for anyone who wants to enhance the joy of their meditation experience. Meditators from all traditions are invited! You'll clear your mind, sharpen your consciousness and strengthen your nervous system.

The Stages of Meditation' are grouped into three 'journeys'. They are: Experience & Crystallize the Self, Express and Distill the Self and Transcend and Sublimate the Self. Each journey will be offered over two full days and will take you through seven stages of deep meditation. Each stage systematically confronts your mind's patterns and limitations, awakens a part of you and develops new skills to clear your way towards realization.

Journey 2: The Expressive Self Intro Feb. 12th 6:30-9pm

Stages 8-14 Feb. 13 9:45am-6:00pm & 14 9:00am- 6:00pm, 2016

Though naturally we recommend that the best way to experience this journey is to participate in all three weekends, you can experience them separately.

cost for intro evening $50+tx

cost for day $125+tx

cost for full Retreat $197+tx before Feb. 1st

full retreat price includes intro day, snacks, tea and lunch

to register contact Paula at 807-628-2870 or info@yogathunderbay.com.
