Join Mary on Zoom!!

10:30-3:45 Pacific Standard Time
Find Flexibility and Balance in Your Life
We are living in turbulent, uncertain and challenging times. Many aspects of our lives have been turned upside down. It may seem that we have little control over what’s happening in our lives and environment. What can we do to take care of ourselves-to mitigate stress and anxiety – and- to thrive?
Being active- both physically and mentally- is a great antidote. Our habitual patterns and ways of acting – which served us before- may not be useful or optimal now. Novel stimulus and learning are highly recommended. A good strategy is to do interesting and potent ATM lessons.
In this one-day workshop we will be focusing on finding balance and flexibility in thinking, acting, moving and feeling. The lessons will address efficient and effective use of your entire self. We will be including lessons in standing, sitting, turning, walking and breathing. You will fine-tune how to move with intelligence, strength and ease. The outcome will be evolving freedom and choices in your everyday activities- and a heightened sense of well-being.

Effortless Use of the Arms & Hands
These four innovative and potent ATM movement lessons will focus on how to use the powerful, strong muscles of the lower back and pelvis to free the head, neck and shoulders, thus reducing the strain in the arms, fingers and wrists. These lessons are especially beneficial for musicians, for people who work at computer keyboards and for anyone who wishes to improve the use of their arms and hands. By improving posture, breathing, coordination and thinking as you learn to move in new ways, you can prevent injury and improve your movement skills.

Explore and Refine Your Self Use
ATM Workshop: Presented by the Feldenkrais Resource Training Institute via Zoom!
The focus of this public workshop is exploring and refining your self-use.
Organized actions involve efficient and effective use of your entire self. In this workshop you will explore and refine how you organize yourself for everyday activities such as walking, standing, rolling, turning, reaching and bending. You will learn to differentiate those actions which are parasitic and harmful to you- and change those to intentional actions based on heightened attention and awareness. By finely tune your sensory awareness you will discover how to move with intelligence, strength and ease. The outcome will be evolving freedom and choices in your everyday activities- and- a sense of well-being.

Optimal Moves for Musicians: One- Day Advanced Training

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!
