New classes at 108 Yoga - starting this week

Ron Renz and I continue our weekly Awareness Through Movement class starting this Thursday--at the beautiful space of 108 Yoga on the waterfront.

Classes start September 9 and continue through December 30, 7:08 - 8:08 pm, Thursdays.

108 Yoga is in the Brewery Market, 1496 Lower Water St. Suite 411. Enter via the South Arch. See the details here. Parking is on the streets--and it's free in the evenings.

You can pay by class as a drop-in, or by ten-class pass. The best deal is an unlimited access pass if you also do yoga and other great classes at 108. I think you'll find a good synergy between the Feldenkrais classes and the studio's approach to wellness and vitality.

108 Yoga has a convenient system of on-line payment and class booking (drop-ins still welcome, but priority to those who book ahead). See details here. You can go on now and book your place for Thursday!

New video online

From Irene Gutteridge, Feldenkrais Practitioner in BC, and her Next 25 Years project, a video "showing" a baby's spontaneous Awareness Through Movement lessons...it's lovely!

Find it here on my blog.

A thought from Moshe about aging

"The parts that are used improve with age like good wine. The parts that are not used become an impediment and destroy all life. It is therefore important to achieve the real self and get rid of the junk that interferes with using it."

From Day 1 of the 1975 San Francisco training.

Updated spreadsheet

For anyone using my ATM spreadsheet, I've recently updated it with notes about missing Alexander Yanai lessons, and track/reel numbers for all AY lessons, thanks to Eva Laser at www.somatik.se. Find it here--the top one, marked "Working AY Spreadsheet."

New ATM Wiki Resource

Laura Yedwab in the current Victoria training has just launched a wiki project: Feldynotebook. I've posted notes for a lesson we did in the last month at the Yoga Loft--Zen Sitting.

This week (Wednesday the 28th @ 7:15 pm) is the last class at the Yoga Loft--join us for a special "transitions" ATM tailored for the occasion. A celebration of the Loft ensues at the Wooden Monkey.

I'm pleased to let you know that we have a new location for September.

Ron Renz and I will continue our weekly Awareness Through Movement class--now on Thursdays--at the beautiful space of 108 Yoga on the waterfront.

Classes start September 9 and continue through December 30, 7:08 - 8:08 pm, Thursdays.

108 Yoga is in the Brewery Market, 1496 Lower Water St. Suite 411. Enter via the South Arch. See the details here. Parking is on the streets--and it's free in the evenings.

You can pay by class as a drop-in, or by ten-class pass. The best deal is an unlimited access pass if you also do yoga and other great classes at 108. I think you'll find a good synergy between the Feldenkrais classes and the studio's approach to wellness and vitality.

108 Yoga offers you the convenience of paying on-line, and of booking your spot in the class ahead of time (drop-ins still welcome). See details here.

For online class participants, I'll start recording again in the fall (I had a few battery failures this spring).

Bad joke alert! Local regulars know I like to joke that Feldenkrais could adopt the Alexander Keith's slogan. The local brewery used to advertise itself by the line "those who like it, like it a lot." As someone "from away," I never really got that as a slogan--Keith's is the choice of alcoholics? Is that it? In any case, here I am, starting my 11th season of ATM classes in the historical brewery establishment of Mr. Alexander Keith himself. Cheers, everyone!

Two news items from Halifax--

1) I've got a workshop this weekend at the Yoga Loft, 1:30-3:30 on Sunday (July 11). The theme is "sitting cross-legged" -- in this pair of Feldenkrais lessons, you will find some surprising connections through your spine and shoulders that enable your pelvis and legs to rest more comfortably in cross-legged sitting. Registration in advance is required. Contact the Yoga Loft at 429-3330 to register, preferably by tomorrow! (Thursday before the workshop.)

2) An era is coming to a end. I'm sad to say that The Yoga Loft is closing at the end of July. It's been a wonderful space to teach for the last 5+ years, with great energy and a supportive community. I'd like to thank Robert Webber for his years of hosting the Wednesday evening Feldenkrais class in its various configurations, and wish him the best in his next (ad)ventures. I'm teaching tonight and the last Wednesday night of July, and Ron the two in between. We'd love to see you there (7:15-8:15).

Ron and I are taking August off, and working on options for the fall. We'll let you know.

Hello everyone,

On Sunday, May 9 I'll be repeating the theme Breath, Posture, and Voice in a two-hour mini-workshop at the Yoga Loft, 1:30 - 3:30 pm. Phone 429-3330 to register before the end of the week preceding. It's a theme we've done before, but the lessons will be all new.

As we move reversibly in and out of Spring in Nova Scotia (that's a lame Feldenkrais joke), here's an update on what's coming up in the near future at the Yoga Loft (http://www.theyogaloft.ca), and what's been posted online at kinesophics.ca recently.

Upcoming Themes of the Month at the Yoga Loft

Finding length - April 2010 theme

A Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement workshop, Sunday March 7 2010, 1 - 3 pm.

Hello everyone, and happy new year! (It it's a new year for you, that is.)

Ron's taking on the theme of Discovering the Center and the Self this month, starting on Wednesday at the Yoga Loft.

Coming up this Saturday (November 8) 1-3 pm at the Yoga Loft--a pair of Feldenkrais lessons exploring the embodiment of emotions.

Hello everyone,

The big news at kinesophics.ca is that I've started recording lessons again. You can find the two lessons we did in the "Agile Awareness" workshop at the top of the page here: http://kinesophics.ca/diyatm/audio
