Mindfulness Meditation

The normal demands of life require us to make constant adaptations to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual changes. Research shows that meeting those demands with a more clear, relaxed mind and body, rather than annoyance, fear or frustration, can make a substantial difference in our mental and physical health and well-being.

The Feldenkrais Method is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their natural abilities to move, think and feel. Whether you want to be more comfortable sitting at your computer, playing with your children and grandchildren, or performing a favorite pastime, these gentle lessons can improve your overall well being. Learning to move with less effort makes daily life easier. Increase ease and range of motion, improve flexibility (without stretching!) and coordination, and rediscover innate capacity for easy, efficient movement.
