Annual Awareness Through Movement® Summer Intensive: The Feldenkrais Method® as a Contemplative Practice

What does it take for us to find the internal composure we need to thrive in times of uncertainty and unrest? That question is foundational to the practice of the Feldenkrais Method.

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® (ATM®) classes are a remarkably modern and innovative process for transforming the quality of your historic lived experience. They can shift your subjective reality from deeply internalized habits of functioning into profound awareness and personal freedom. ATM classes use movement and sensory discrimination to open your awareness and refine how you function in the world. This helps you lift yourself out of your historical patterns that cause you to replicate your past over and over.

Recently, many have turned to mindfulness and other contemplative practices to find internal peace, openness and coherence in daily life. ATM is extremely efficient and effective in helping you learn to tune into your own experience, inhibit historic patterns of behavior and refine how you function. Set your old paradigm of life aside to become a source of wisdom and aspire to be the way you most want to be—pull back the curtain that divides the past from your potential self, and project yourself forward with a profound sense of fully participating in life.

The Feldenkrais Method can help you become self-reliant in a changing world, helping you recover your physical integrity, restore your emotional dignity and thrive in the complexity of daily life.
