Half a century before it was a recognized word, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais was already discovering ways of stimulating neuroplasticity to help his students recover from injuries, accidents and other kinds of life challenges.
He found that the way we move influences brain organization and the way we think and attend, influences our movement.
The great variety of Awareness Through Movement® lessons he created, give us the opportunity to explore new and exciting ways to use ourselves. They take us beyond many unconscious and pain inducing habits and lead us toward other options we never knew were possible.
The Method is astonishingly effective at helping people regain lost abilities as well as creating new ones!
The course will take place at the Finnish Hall, 1970 Chestnut St. in Berkeley, CA November 23, 10-4:30

Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes consist of verbally guided movement sequences. Each class is different and over time a large variety of movements, positions and learning states are explored. The classes engender an enjoyable process of self-awareness that helps develop increased vitality, flexibility, coordination and overall well-being. You do not need to bring anything to class. Wear comfortable, soft clothes that you can move in freely. ATM classes are not like anything else. Come and explore for yourself. All instructors are Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners.
