"We must re-establish the function of attending to oneself, to one’s desires, to one’s needs, to the feelings of the body. Then we will find an integration of the fluency of movement through each joint into action where the integration itself is a new way of being." ~ Moshé Feldenkrais ~ YOUR LIVING SPINE IS MORE ELASTIC THAN YOU KNOW ~ Peace with Imperfection brings Breath & Length We equate sitting or standing up "straight" with good upright posture, yet the phrase itself is completely inaccurate. There is nothing about our spinal structure, or for that matter, any bone in the body that is straight. Subtle curves and twists are resilient and necessary for function and weight bearing. There are a number of reasons a spine deviates from what is considered the norm, birth trauma or a later injury, genetics, mysterious unknown causes and most common- aging into long standing habits and patterns that become exaggerated due to bone loss. What all deviations have in common is a shortening of the distance between the head and pelvis with well established muscular contractions attempting to keep us functioning as upright as possible. Recovering length elongates the curves, and depending on origin and severity, one may even be able to begin to explore the reverse curve allowing chronic contractions to have a rest and giving the overstretched ligaments and muscles on the long side opportunity to activate. Recovering length and elasticity in a crooked, overarched or bent spine does wonders for balance, improves ability to breath and brings a feeling of relief and well being. "There is no intention to correct you. Your trouble and mine is that we are trying to behave correctly at the cost of quenching, with our own consent, our individuality." ~ Moshé Feldenkrais, The Elusive Obvious In this Workshop we will: Shift in mind & experience the idea of Posture- to put or place; to a word coined by Moshe Feldenkrais based on his Martial Arts expertise. Acture- ready for action, the ability to move in any direction without preparation. Improve your breathing through becoming aware of where your chest and breath are moving easily, and parts of your lungs you somehow forgot existed. Remind your spine not only of its ability to bend in all directions, but the healthy elastic quality that keeps it more responsive to life and feeling well. Move in ways that expand internal spaces providing a little more room for your organs to continue their remarkable processes. Take a day to become more familiar with a sense of balanced stillness- Acture! Cost: $110 ~ Early bird $95 paid or postmarked by May 24th.

THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF THE HEAD & SHOULDERS ~ Clearing the Pathways for Seamless Intention to Action “The body is a sacred garment. It’s your first and last garment; it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with, and it should be treated with honor.” ~ Martha Graham Students Share Their Experience: "It doesn’t matter what area of the body the lesson is focusing on, my tightness resolves either during or after the movements are finished. I remain mystified over the years that, initially, the lesson has nothing to do with what is going on for me, yet my issue resolves. The only explanation is connectivity – that no area of the body is separate from any other – listening and following the movements focuses the mind on x to distract the mind from chronic ways of thinking about y with the consistent effect of allowing the body to restore connectedness and fall into alignment." ~ Carol "When I looked in the mirror after class my head was on straight." ~ Leanore "I love Feldenkrais. It's like going back to your roots." ~ Susan "Thank you, I can feel my arms in my back now." ~ Lisa Individual Functional Integration® by appointment. "My spine feels refreshed." ~ John   "A reunion and homecoming of who I've always been..."  ~ Gendron "Prisca's insights into... one’s use of one’s body have immediate and broader significance -- awareness of how one moves translates quickly into awareness of how one lives… Just as very small changes in one’s movements have dramatic impact on one’s well being, so do small changes in one’s way of thinking and acting have much larger impacts on the quality of one’s life..."  ~ Caroline		WELCOME 2025 ADVANCED TRAINING FOR FELDENKRAIS® PRACTITIONERS WORKSHOPS FOR A HEALTHY DANCEWORLD OTHER CLASSES & WORKSHOPS MOSHE FELDENKRAIS, D.Sc. PRISCA WINSLOW GUEST TEACHING IN THE NEWS HOME "Very, very, very enlightening and clarifying ... my thinking was stimulated and I came away with a much better sense of functional anatomy, i.e. how the body is built to move and how certain misunderstandings of how the body works can lead to the training of a dancer that will be injured, frustrated or never fully expressive. Understanding how the bones are so beautifully put together gives me a greater understanding of how my thinking and misconceptions were affecting my movement. Being able to visualize how the spine can twist, turn, flex, and spiral helps me organize my thinking and therefore my movements more clearly.
