the feldenkrais method with lynette reid
In September-October, we did a series of lessons exploring the function and physicality of the eyes.
Another earlier eye lesson is:
Can you turn on a dime?
The kind of flexibility we learn in Feldenkrais isn’t so much about how wide you can open a joint or how far you can twist your spine. It’s more about how readily you can respond to your environment (inner and outer), and change course.
In this six-week series, we’ll refine our control around the central axis, manage and coordinate the masses of the pelvis and head, get a few nice twists in, kick out our heels (subtly), and learn how to turn on a dime.
Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30, at Creative Crossing, 5781 Charles Street, November 9 – December 14; $60.
(On November 2, if you’re so inclined, you can catch BJM Danse at the Cohn:

Hope to see you there!

In this lesson, we’re organizing the eyes and extending the spine–with some adjustments to the head-neck relationship on the way.
