THE FOUR CORNERS: SHOULDERS & Hips

THE FOUR CORNERS

SHOULDERS & Hips

Monthly Workshops for Life & Living

‘The Four Corners’ is a series of three monthly Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® workshops exploring the relationships between the four ‘corners’ of our torso – hips and shoulders, and how these relationships contribute to ease, stability, and efficient movement.
Each workshop offers a space to slow down, explore movement with curiosity, and discover alternatives to habitual patterns that may not always serve us well. The workshops are closely related, but each can also be experienced independently.

‘SHOULDERS & Hips’ turns our attention to the connection between our arms, shoulders and the organisation of the pelvis. We often experience these areas as separate, yet they are deeply interconnected in everyday actions such as reaching, pushing, carrying, walking and turning.

Through gentle and attentive movement, we will explore how movement initiated in one part of the body can travel through the skeleton and influence another, and how clearer connections can reduce the need for muscular effort. We will investigate the role of the spine, eyes and breath in creating a more integrated relationship between the upper and lower body.

Join the workshop to interrupt habitual patterns of tension and discover more efficient ways of using your shoulders and hips together. The aim is not to “correct” movement, but to expand your choices and find ways of moving that feel lighter, more comfortable and more responsive.

Closely related to the October and December workshops, all working together towards improving your skeletal support and the overall organisation when upright. Whilst each workshop can be experienced independently, in order to maximise the benefits, I recommend attending as many as you can.

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons consist of a series of gentle, ingenious movements, verbally directed and exploratory in nature. There are hundreds of lessons which focus on different themes and interconnections between the nervous system, the muscles, the skeletal system, and our responses to the world around us.

Each month we focus on a different theme keeping us engaged in building a clearer image of ourselves, by paying attention to our sensations as we move. Broadly beneficial and appropriate for people of all ages, interests and abilities.

Book your place for a 2.5 hour long Feldenkrais session and start enjoying the benefits.
