Adventures in Movement - Feldenkrais Play

Adventures in Movement - Feldenkrais Play I'm a moving human. I help you become a moving human so you can live a full and moving life.
- Dr Kristin Fredricksson How can we all be more human?

I came to Feldenkrais after a leg injury and back problems resulting from scoliosis. I was a physical theatre performer and was looking for an intelligent approach to movement. I wanted to avoid injury and maintain my ability to do what I wanted as I got older. I hadn't quite anticipated how rich my journey with Feldenkrais would be. It is not just great for refining and understanding movement alt

hough I love how alive and freeI feel after a Feldenkrais lesson. I love walking down the road feeling weightless and bouncy! Feldenkrais has also given me a more creative and positive approach to life. I have taken risks I might otherwise not have taken. After a few months of lessons I knew I had to do the practitioner training. I did this in Paris, where I was living, between 2003 and 2008. I am passionate about sharing this work with other people. Feldenkrais has some brilliant tools to help.

#🍁 Zoom Feldenkrais. classes start Thursday πŸ‚

ο»Ώο»ΏAutumn rains and colours are here - a subtle season of shifts and changes. Massive spiders in the house and occasional shrieks when one is encountered closer than comfort.

If you'd like to come and notice your own shifts and changes, join us from this Thursday at 10am.

My weekly Feldenkrais class has moved online for the moment - I ο»Ώknow there are those who only like to come in person, but if you've never tried it on Zoom, I ο»Ώrecommend you do.

You are in the comfort and safety of your own space; you only need to listen to me, so it's not so different from being in the room - you're not glued to the screen; and there is often a deeper sharing of experience afterwards as there seems to be more intimacy.

ο»ΏI've made it affordable and will try to make it increasingly so if attendance is good.

I ο»Ώhope to see you there!

Kristin xο»Ώο»Ώ

Coming up is the Amrita Yoga + Festival in Whitstable at which I'm pleased to be teaching two classes on Sunday 22 September:

9-10am Feldenkrais Seesaw Breathing @ the Horsebridge

2.40-4.10pm Feldenkrais Bridge Masterclass @ the Horsebridge

As ever, no experience is necessary for either. You can book single tickets and multi-class passes. There are all sorts of yoga and other classes going on all weekend.

I am no longer teaching regularly in the East Kent area as I'm now doing this work with acting students in London, so this is a rare and precious occasion to share the space and learn together.

NEWS!

The next 3 weeks will be my LAST IN-PERSON WEEKLY FELDENKRAIS CLASSES in East Kent for the foreseeable future.

I am delighted to be taking up a permanent position as Feldenkrais and Movement teacher at a London drama school.

I will continue to offer Sunday workshops - these are likely to start up again in the Autumn.

I will also still offer 1:1s in Canterbury on Fridays.

I ο»Ώwill offer a weekly Zoom-only session from the Autumn.

SOOOOoooo, come on down for some Feldenkrais goodness before it goes! You won't regret it.

There are three more weekly sessions in Margate and Whitstable.

πŸ‰ JUICY JULY CLASSES START TODAY! πŸ’

Does your brain need a somatic feast this July?

Eating a delicious meal in good company increases the pleasure. Likewise with a somatic movement experience.

In a juicy somatic session, you notice and track your sensations as you move and rest. This allows you to find new ways to release locked patterns that keep your movement from flowering and your emotions from pulsing in all their vivid liveliness.

Whether you would like to feel freer in your body, or less compressed emotionally, sharing a somatic space with others enhances your personal exploration as the field echoes and enlightens your discoveries. Also, it's fun!

Graceful, light movement in yourself and in the social choreography helps lighten our days.

There are four more weekly sessions in Margate and Whitstable before the Summer break - come along. You won't regret it.

πŸ‰ JUICY JULY CLASSES πŸ’

July is upon us and I have four juicy movement classes lined up for you.

You will learn how to distribute your effort more evenly, connecting movements of your centre and extremities more clearly.

You will discover new layers of nuance in your stability, strength, attention and compassion.

Balance is dynamic; it's a skill of perception and attention, not just about holding static challenging positions.

You'll also experience β€œcore strength” in a refreshing way and and sense it in everyday actions like turning, bending and walking.

These classes will be highly functional and accessible, whatever your starting point.

Why not come to class and get juicy in your movement this July?

Confusion is an essential stage in learning. Deep learning is not linear. It requires getting lost, figuring things out, not knowing and finding a solution yourself - Aha! There it is.

Each Feldenkrais lesson provides a structure for this - it generously offers you a safe, contained experience in getting lost so you can learn something new about yourself, the way you move and function.

I think that is pretty cool!

One of the keys is MOVEMENT WITH ATTENTION - this is the difference between Feldenkrais and other methods. It means you can do the lesson
whatever your starting point.

In June and July I am inviting you to DROP-IN to weekly classes Whitstable and Margate. You can also drop-in on Zoom

I'm offering Β£10 off my Necks & Shoulders Workshop this Sunday!

You can book following the link ⬇️ and please feel free to share with others.

The Pelvic Floor Workshop in April was a really rich afternoon of learning and this one will be too.

Whether you spend a lot of time at a desk, on a phone, with a musical instrument, at an easel or potter's wheel, driving, watching shows... this workshop will pep up your neck and shoulders by showing you how to find support through your whole spine and whole self.

Exploring ways to release our necks and shoulders from everyday stresses and strains in simple ways that are easy to play with daily.

STRESS shows up in our animal bodies - we hunch and tighten in situations where it is unnecessary. We get stuck and end up with painful or stiff necks and shoulders.ο»Ώ

ο»ΏAs animals, we need to orient fluently in our surroundings through fine movement in our eyes and necks to feel safe and powerful. Having a sense of freedom in our necks and shoulders expands to include the rest of our bodies.

Stretching and massage can't dissolve chronic tension because they don't engage the brain and typically only address the painful area.

The Feldenkrais Method offers a neuroplastic, holistic and gentle approach to alleviating shoulder and neck pain. Instead of concentrating solely on the area of discomfort, we explore the connection between the neck, shoulders and entire body, including the nervous system and brain.

Your brain and nervous system are smart – once they experience a more efficient way of organizing, they will prefer it over the less optimal habits that caused your discomfort.

You will learn to reduce tension, improve your range of motion, and achieve better alignment. We will address the underlying causes of shoulder pain, such as poor posture, muscular imbalances, and inefficient movement habits.ο»Ώο»Ώ This can also help with headaches, migraines, TMJ pain and insomnia.

Come explore your neck and shoulders with us and open up a whole new garden of sensing experience?!

Dr Kristin Fredricksson – Transformational Movement Educator

When you take care of your need to feel good and to be free from pain, you make a gift to the world; the gift of your better self.

I am a Feldenkrais practitioner – Felden-what? you may ask! Don’t worry about the name – here’s what you need to know.

I help people improve their movement skills, alleviate pain and address chronic and life-destroying conditions. I work with actors, dancers, musicians and sports people to improve their performance. But this is only the surface.

This work transforms lives.
