A Tactile Spine: The Blending of Yoga & Feldenkrais
An 8 class series with Sarah Baumert
This will be a time to create space and feel what it is like living in this body. Specific to this series, we use a small bolster to awaken the upper thoracic, lower thoracic, and lumbar spine as the warm up for each class. We then use this tactile information and bring it into seated and standing poses for the last part of class.
In these sessions we will invite the spine and the back space to become a more intimate part of our practice and our life through releasing places in the spine that feel physically stuck, mentally tight, or emotionally restricted. We will explore ways to move in harmony with our unique needs and how we feel each day, to encourage the back body to soften and connect with the feelings of space and freedom in the torso.
Each class will infuse a more traditional yoga asana practice with the Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement method. These classes are an interdisciplinary excursion of yoga, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, joint specific training, self-massage, breathing exercises, movement puzzles, and a compassionate mindset to help you feel a greater sense of ease and comfort in yourself. Allow your body to be your guide. All levels are welcome.

What people are saying about Sarah's teaching and this course:
“These online Yoga + Feldenkrais courses have become some of my favorite practices ever. I find your classes to be exceptionally supportive and illuminating, and I’ve so benefitted from the learning and the unlearning I’ve experienced. Drop by drop, this practice and what I’ve received from your teaching have radically changed how I am in my body and in my life - B
Your wisdom encapsulates much of what I’ve studied and am still learning to apply, even at my age. May I be able to do so until I die. Now I have a fresh connection between Feldenkrais, Zen Buddhism and psycho-therapy. I have experienced many unique and special moments of joy in your classes, Sarah, and they are precious to me. - E”
