Open to all levels of ability and experience. Whether you are looking to improve your coordination and mobility or find relief from chronic pain and postural tension, these classes are an excellent way to expand your sense of well-being and possibility. Since how you move is how you move through life, these improvements will often enhance your thinking, emotional regulation, and problem-solving capabilities. ATM class most often takes place lying down on mats, but occasionally in a sitting or standing position. Similar to Tai Chi or gentle yoga, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes use slow, mindful movements to achieve powerful effects in terms of strength, flexibility, and holistic integration of body and mind. As you attend to the improving quality of movement, unnecessary muscular tensions throughout the body can reorganize and release. Participants are often amazed at the quick and clear changes that occur through the neuromuscular repatterning that happens in an Awareness Through Movement lesson. Instructor: Adjunct professor Krista Langberg.

Many of which you can do right from the comfort of home. And in as little as 10 minutes a day, you can eliminate chronic pain, expand your range-of-motion, and increase your athletic output.
