We are currently finalizing our summer 2008 teaching schedule, please check back soon.

 

Our Saturday  Feldenkrais workshops are an enjoyable way to steep yourself in the experience of your own embodied wisdom, facilitated through 3 enjoyable Awareness Through Movement Lessons. Each class focuses on a unique subject which students are allowed not only to think about, but to experience directly through their own embodiment. These workshops are not progressive, but each stand independently. Feel free to join us anytime. These classes are designed for students with various levels of movement experience - from new beginners to long time movers; however these group classes are not recommended for those in the acute phase of an injury.  We recommend that you wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing and bring one or more blankets or mats for padding on the floor. Drop-ins are welcomed on a space available basis.
The following workshops will be held at Pinnacle Performance,
1410 S. Edison Street, in Salt Lake City. Cost is $45 prepaid, $50 drop in. Please call or email us to confirm that space is available, then mail your check to 823 e 1st Ave, SLC UT 84103.

In addition to this selection of workshops, we have many mini-courses in the works. We're planning for a Mindful Embodiment course  (most likely on Thursday evenings) this summer - 5 weeks, 10 lessons, a lifechanging experience.
I'm also planning several special workshops for women, some cotaught with other dynamic teachers from the community which may include an expressive arts component. I'm very excited about this and will have details soon. I'm considering repeating my Empelvised, Embellied, Empowered course as I enjoyed it so greatly.
We're also planning an "Aging with Grace" course  (again, most likely Thursday evenings)- to help us  improve the way we move at any age.  We're still ironing out details on location and timing, but wanted to let you know that these are in the works and details will be coming soon.



We are in town and delighted to be available for private sessions. We love sharing our work with people! We also greatly enjoy working with people in tandem -  You can buy a discounted pass for 5 or 10 sessions which can be used for sessions with either of us. Erin loves to work with Feldenkrais and yoga with individuals, and Carl loves to work with massage, structural integration and Feldenkrais as well. Often clients who work with both of us find it to be a complementary, synergistic combination which can bring about great positive change. We'd be honored to be a part of your learning and healing path. Contact us by email or phone to set up an appointment.

Wishing you well, and hoping to see you soon,
Erin and Carl

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

By Wu Men (Hui-k'ai)
(1183 - 1260)

 
And here is a little acclaim for this wonderful method we're so enamored of:

 

Research

There is a growing body of research to support the efficacy of the Feldenkrais Method. In addition to the many case studies that contain detailed information about the interventions used with individuals, a number of recent studies incorporating larger groups, more effective methods, and random assignment control have been conducted. The following represent some of the three dozen studies included in "Complementary Therapies in Rehabilitation" (Slack Incorporated. Thorofare, NJ 2004), Chapter 12, written by James Stephens, PT, PhD., CFP and Teresa M. MillerFT.), PT, MS, CFT. (Information provided by the Feldenkrais Guild of North America.

PAIN MANAGEMENT
MOTOR & POSTURAL CONTROL, FUNCTIONAL MOBILITY
PSYCHOLOGY & QUALITY OF LIFE



 

 

Pinnacle is on the left (west side of Edison Street)  and it is a yellow brick building set back from the street a bit. If you find yourself in the large parking lot for a tall red-brick building, you've gone too far. Pinnacle has its own parking lot just in front of the building.
