Feldenkrais MINI LESSONS: MethodS for Mindful Movement

 

A series of Mini Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement lessons with Sarah Baumert

Students have asked for shorter lessons for those moments when there’s not enough time to do a full hour long practice. In these live sessions, I will be teaching two shorter Feldenkrais lessons. Each class time will be a completely new set of lessons. When you register for the series, you will also gain access to a handful of other short mini Feldenkrais lessons. *All lessons are recorded. Registering for the series gives you access to the recorded lessons indefinitely.

Why shorter lessons?

Last night at the end of the day, I was feeling tired. The August heat was getting to me and I lacked motivation. I noticed I had a little time before I needed to get moving on dinner, so I laid down and did a 20 minute Feldenkrais lesson. Prior, I had been staring at the screen for awhile so my eyes were tired and to be honest I was just feeling sort of dull. After 20 short minutes, I felt totally changed. My nervous system felt calm, but I also had the energy to take on the rest of my night.

“The human nervous system is eminently suitable for change.” -Moshe Feldenkrais

This experience reminded me of one reason I am offering these mini lessons, which is for you all to stock up your library with a similar opportunity. They are there for you when you need a shift or interruption of your current state, but don’t have an hour to spare. I like to think of them as more than a 5 minute movement snack, but also not the whole buffet. Just the right nourishment.

By the end of the series you will have 16 mini lessons to keep with you for those days you just need a little something.

What people are saying about Sarah's teaching:

I have never, ever felt my hands and lower arms as I did at the end of class tonight. They were glowing in a fuzzy, pleasant way. I can’t describe it otherwise. - Linda

I am so grateful that you continue to provide these life giving, body strengthening and soul nurturing classes. They are like an inner meditation for every cell in my body! - Rosie

After I switched to the ‘regular’ yoga class, I realized I missed how I felt during and after Feldenkrais. I experience an ease of being, a soft wholesomeness, in Feldenkrais. I meditate most mornings, and I sometimes find that same stillness after Feldenkrais. Also, ease of movement: I am always struck at how gracefully I can move a limb compared to how the limb starts out. -Elizabeth

What I love so much about your classes: when the unexpected happens, like a jigsaw puzzle falling into place. Keep surprising me! - Jane

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. These online Feldenkrais courses have become some of my favorite practices ever, and I’m excited every time you propose a new series. - Betsy

After these lessons, I often feel like I am “floating”. I continue to realize, in real time and activities like walking, the connection between all parts of my body….the supple power that moves up and down my spine, from my head to my pelvis. - Helen

This is a non-judgemental, non-corrective, and liberating way to experience your body in motion. You will experience learning at your pace where noticing what makes you feel good is a priority. Notice what you are curious about, and recognize that experiencing pleasure and enjoyment in your body are measures of freedom. The mindful movement lessons are suitable for all levels, and will include a variety of positions, from lying on the back or side, chair sitting, lying on the belly, standing, and walking.
