Avenue of Expression: A Feldenkrais Approach

In "Avenue of Expression: A Feldenkrais Approach", we will use the Feldenkrais Method® of Movement Education to expand our knowledge and techniques pertaining to the avenue of expression. If you would like to learn innovative and effective techniques for working with TMJ syndrome, breathe more deeply and fully, or develop your voice for speech or singing, you can learn something valuable from this course. We will use the gentle exploratory movements of Awareness through Movement to develop our kinesthetic sense of our avenues of expression, including mouth, jaw, throat, hyoid, ribs, and diaphragm. (Class size is limited to 20.) There will be hands-on demonstration and practice of techniques that complement craniosacral work and enhance its effectiveness. Although this class is geared toward craniosacral therapists, no prior knowledge or experience is required. There are no prerequisites, and you may invite friends or clients who wish to learn self-care and develop self-awareness. Class Goals:
• To become a more effective therapist for clients with TMJ syndrome, cervical pain, or other pain syndromes.
• To learn to breathe more deeply and effectively.
• To develop an embodied voice, which is effective for clear and pleasant communication.
• To enrich our understanding of anatomy, especially of the throat, TMJ, and diaphragms, through exploratory exercises.
• To learn a variety of techniques that will enhance craniosacral work, and can be used for self-healing.
• To express ourselves in the world more effectively.
• To enrich our awareness of ourselves and others.
• To understand the connections between the Avenue of Expression and the spine, voice, and viscera. CE Units: 24 Florida and 2.4 National for LMT’s
