Letting Go

Description

Awareness Through Movement® Group Classes
2024 Spring Series
Letting Go

 

We can use mantras, self talk, breathing and stretching to release tension. And they work…in specific contexts.

But what does it take to put tension into action?

Our muscles are constantly working to move us, to hold us up, to keep us from falling.

The problem comes when the muscles work simultaneously to do opposing movements. It creates what’s called “co-contraction”.

Co-contraction puts pressure on the joints, creating heat and friction, wearing down the joint surfaces.

In this series of three Awareness Through Movement® Lessons, we will explore slow, small movements that help certain muscles contract and the opposing muscles to relax, decreasing co-contraction, decreasing stress on the joints, and giving more space and lubrication to the joint surfaces.

Learn how you can take pressure off your joints, by relieving tension with movements that work to “Let Go” of tension buildup that wears you down.

Your Instructor, Lindy Ost
Lindy Ost has been teaching Awareness Through Movement lessons for over 30 years. The message that she heard from her first Feldenkrais teacher, “If you learn one thing while in this workshop, you will have been successful,” released pressure that she hadn’t realized that she was still carrying from her education years. It was the difference that made a difference.

Financial support is available. Please inquire.
