These half-day workshops (3-6 pm) will serve as an introduction to the Feldenkrais Method® and the Optimal Moves® Teacher Training Program.

If you are thinking about becoming a Feldenkrais® Teacher this is a great opportunity to experience Awareness Through Movement® and the power of the Feldenkrais Method®. In this half-day workshop, you will experience 2-3 movement lessons, watch a demonstration of Mary giving a one-on- one Functional Integration® (FI) lesson and have the opportunity to speak with Mary about the training process and the upcoming training program.

If you would like to improve the quality of your life, and help others improve the quality of their lives; if you are interested in experiential learning and movement, or if you want to understand how to learn how to learn more effectively, then join us for one of the upcoming workshops.

This public workshop is open to musicians, music teachers and health professionals who work with musicians. The focus will be on developing awareness and understanding of the physical and emotional challenges musicians associate with learning and performing music. Using innovative and potent Awareness Through Movement lessons and demonstrations with instruments, students will learn to prevent and /or recover from injuries, moving beyond injuries to improved performance. You will enjoy improved posture, breathing, greater mobility and flexibility and an increased sense of vitality and well-being.

This Workshop offers practical tools to help you:

• Use your capacity for self-awareness and self correction to bring about greater comfort and efficiency while performing
• Dramatically improve the quality and pleasure of your movement as you acquire new coordination and movement skills
• Understand the causes of music-related injuries
• Recover from and prevent injury
• Move beyond prevention and injury to improving performance
• Access the power of the brain and nervous system to change old patterns and restore lost function – to change the pattern in the brain itself

Fee: $100.00 ($65 Student Fee)

In this one-day workshop you will learn to recognize which habits and patterns you do in your everyday activities- such as sitting, standing, walking and breathing- that are limiting your full potential and abilities. Using ATM as a medium, you will learn new ways to improve your self-use, balance, breathing and posture. Effortless and efficient movement will be an immediate outcome- thus improving the quality of your life.

In this two day advanced training you will learn skills specific to understanding and  helping musicians improve their performance.  You will fine-tune your ability to sense and feel, and imagine what it is to be a musician -a day in the life of a musician. You will learn to” pinpoint” what the student isn’t aware of, or what he isn’t doing yet- and provide him with relevant information to improve his performance skills and enjoy a full, pain-free and long career in music.

We will use dynamic, dramatic and effective  ATM and FI lessons, designed especially  for musicians; FI and ATM demonstrations with musicians playing their instruments; and video case histories. If you are a musician, bring your instrument!
