Spinal Awareness is a blend of movement, touch, and group interaction, based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, Chinese-Indonesian martial art, and the Esalen experience. It continues to evolve.

The movements of Spinal Awareness are quite different from normal exercises. They emphasize learning how to move in ways that stimulate your awareness of your body. They involve learning to use the floor to organize and integrate your own spinal column. Standing lessons lead to a new awareness of ways to move with better balance and fluidity. Spinal Awareness also improves flexibility, posture, and most chronic and acute conditions of the body. Special emphasis will be placed on any difficulties participants may have, such as lower back pain, hip trouble, tension in the neck and shoulders, and knee injuries.

Lessons inspired by Indonesian Silat will be used to stimulate the energy body, effecting internal health and increasing energy. These movements, originating from the monasteries of China and Tibet, further increase healing possibilities. Safe and noninvasive hands-on lessons will be presented that greatly speed up improvements.

This workshop will evolve with humor and playfulness. Fun partner lessons will help bring about not only freedom in the body but the return to the childlike energy essential to us all.

This is a program designed both for the beginner and the professional. For more information visit www.spinalawareness.com
