"Feldenkrais has a lot to offer to increase awareness (feeling)of the body and movement. Yoga and Feldenkrais seem to be natural partners."
~ Sandy 
Mary and Gail are a dynamic duo and are wonderful guides in integrating yoga and Feldenkrais practices.
​~ Marge
In yoga we do poses.  But real life is a continuum.  Yoga teacher Gail Wallace and Feldenkrais instructor Mary Armentrout return following their popular workshops last year with this intriguing new  series exploring the journey through our energetic and experiential polarities.  Standing + falling.  Stillness + motion. Better Walking. These may seem like opposing things, but they are in fact continuums.  By developing greater awareness of the eternal "flow between" opposites we can bring bring more ease, grace and safety to our movements and lives on the mat, and off.  Look forward to an afternoon of connecting mind and body through relaxed and easeful movement with plenty of opportunity for resting, wonder and "aha!" moments.
