Want to relieve pain and tension, improve postural habits, be more relaxed ?Happy New Year - want to make a good start to 2023 ?Difficult getting back to work ? What to maintain that relaxed holiday feeling ? Tired of hearing about Covid ? The Covid / lockdown situation certainly had an effect on our lives, with many, including myself, having old routines and activities slip away. The Feldenkrais Method has given me a way of staying grounded and relaxed over this time, as well as helping me to manage a long and challenging hike in France in September ! I'm kicking off 2023 with an afternoon workshop : When : Sunday 29th January, 2-5pm Where : Quaker Room, Moncrieff St, Mt Victoria Fee : $90 Numbers are limited - let me know ASAP if you'd like to come. You will experience: A selection of shorter and longer Feldenkrais movement lessons, designed to help you relax common stress areas - shoulders, neck, jaw, breathing. Get hints to apply in your everyday life. Written material (lesson summaries) to take home. A yummy afternoon tea. Enquiries/registration: suefieldnelson@hotmail.com ph/text 0274667123 About me :My name is Sue Field and I offer a unique combination of massage and movement/postural education (Feldenkrais Method). I have over 20 years' experience, and I'm passionate about helping you to improve your quality of life.What happens in a Feldenkrais group class ?Group lessons are usually done lying down. I verbally guide you through a sequence of movements which you are encouraged to do slowly and within your comfortable range. I bring your attention to the less obvious aspects of each movement. This allows you to become more aware of your movement patterns and develop new more efficient and less tense habits. Timetable here What happens in a Feldenkrais Individual Session ?You get a lesson designed for your needs / goals, and your unique movement habits. The learning is done mostly through touch and passive movement. I often give a small amount of homework, so you can continue to improve in your own time. Testimonials“As a total beginner to Feldenkrais I had no idea what to expect, or even what it was, I just vaguely hoped it would be good for my health and fitness. With Sue’s calm manner and the quiet atmosphere of classes where no one is looking at you, I found it so much nicer than a gym environment. The movements turned out to be surprising and intriguing. Low-key and gentle, they still take effort to perform, and they connect brain and body in unusual and quirky ways that you can feel are doing you good, all over. I was quickly hooked on this style of exercise because of how good I feel afterwards - the general sensation of wellbeing and happiness, because you become energised yet relaxed, lasts for the rest of the day. I can thoroughly recommend it to people of all ages.” - Kate
"Thanks for a great lesson. I still had a lot of pain in my shoulder and arm...and wasn't sure I could do lesson. Wrist aching as well. No pain after lesson and I have full movement and pain free this morning still !! " - Patricia Green, Senior Analyst, government department |
