As you embark on this journey, you

will rediscover the joy and freedom of movement.

We will explore the intricate connections between the brain and self-perception through gentle and effective exercises,

guiding you to alleviate discomfort in your back, hips, knees, and neck. Furthermore, you will learn valuable techniques to

improve your posture, and release tension in your lower back. By the end of this workshop, you will walk away with a

Enjoy while you learn. Feldenkrais/SmartMoves feels good and is an enjoyable learning process.

Learning to walk with ease and realigning your posture can significantly enhance your overall health. Good posture is

not merely the result of muscular strength; it stems from the proper utilization of our skeleton. When we achieve good posture, we appear and feel poised, healthy, and dynamic.

The Maasai tribe in Africa exemplifies this, renowned for their elegant, upright stance that allows them to walk long distances effortlessly. Their graceful posture is characterized by an innate alignment of the skeleton, enabling their muscles to move freely without unnecessary tension.

Join me and take the first step towards your transformation!

Qigong Classes

Discover the benefits of Qigong for relaxation and vitality in our interactive workshops.

Walking is a dynamic whole-body movement characterized by the circular motion of specific joints, creating a

harmonious balance along a defined midline. As the upper body counter-rotates against the lower body, this intricate

interplay engages the hip and shoulder joints while providing directionality through the knees. A strong pelvic floor

supports the alignment of the head, ensuring a clear midline that promotes stability. Each step is a testament to the

body's functionality, with active toes contributing to the overall balance and propulsion. This fluidity not only facilitates

movement but also enhances physical awareness, making walking an essential and holistic practice for maintaining body alignment and health.
