Weather and Dress...
At 7,000 feet, Taos has comfortable summer weather. Daytime temperatures average high 80's with very low humidity, nights are always significantly cooler. Clothes for the workshop: dance attire and/or any other comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement. Awareness Through Movement® lessons are often quiet so bring layers for warmth. Because the sun is very powerful at 7,000 feet, sunscreen and a hat are recommended. Please bring rugged shoes if you are interested in exploring any of the beautiful hiking trails surrounding the area. A heavy sweater, or light jacket is suggested for the higher altitudes and the cool evenings.

Workshop Location...
Move Into Balance Feldenkrais ® Studio, a beautiful, full-of-light studio located at 1335 Gusdorf Road, Suite J, on the south end of the town of Taos will host the intensive.
Housing...
The Stewart House Bed and Breakfast (www.stewarthousebandb.com) houses participants and generously offers a special rate. You have a choice of single or shared room, and a great breakfast is included. Sandy, the owner is a wonderful hostess and dancers have always enjoyed their stay there.
Traveling to Taos...
The closest major airport is Albuquerque International Airport, about 2 1/2 hours south of Taos. Santa Fe, 1 1/2 hours south of Taos, is a smaller airport and usually more expensive, but may be worth looking into. Once arrived you have a choice of renting or sharing a rental car, or taking a shuttle**, ($50.00 one way, $90.00 round trip). On occasion you can get a ride to/from Taos with another participant. Even though you can get rides to/from the studio, be aware that there is practically no public transportation in Taos. It is a beautiful, rural area and if you want the freedom to look around, a car is recommended.
We'll happily help participants coordinate shared rooms and/or rental cars.
**IMPORTANT, If you are not renting a car you need to arrange travel to/from Taos BEFORE making your flight reservations!
