Feldenkrais: Good Posture, Align on the Floor with Ralph (Online)
Event description
Achieve easy, natural upright posture using gentle, intriguing movements on the floor.
While in the lying down position your muscles will soften and release and you will be guided to create a pleasant pulsing movement from foot to head which will improve the alignment of your spine and whole skeleton. When you return to standing you may be surprised to find yourself much more upright with an easy, comfortable good posture.

Then a set neurosensory exercises to relax and foster smooth, graceful coordination
· A gentle push/pull action from the feet, legs and hips, connecting through the spine to the head and neck
· Gentle, pleasant movements of the head and neck, encouraging a feeling of the head floating effortlessly
· Discovering the connection of your whole self, from foot to head
· Undo unconscious habits of tension and restriction
· Come out of your slump, physically and mentally
· Learn techniques and principles for ongoing self-maintenance, injury prevention and injury recovery
· Improve your performance at work, play, yoga, dance, sport and all the things you love doing.
The movement exercises will be done lying on the floor.
