AGILITY means being able to move easily in any direction quickly and lightly. This requires good balance, a brain that senses whole body action, easy joints and an even give and take between flexors and extensors of all muscles working in synergistic patterns. [Read more]

This course is designed to offer practical clinical strategies for people with low back, spine, hip and knee difficulties in bending, standing and sitting. To create or regain ‘agility’, one needs to rediscover a whole body ‘image of action’ as opposed to ‘fixing’ one part. 

Therapists learn to improve their ability to view tension in others through personal experience. This ‘embodied learning’ is through specific Feldenkrais’ Awareness through Movement® lessons, partner collaboration and lecture. Participants learn to sense, in detail, how each action is performed and how variations in effort and path help create a new image for that action.
