Tuesday: Elaine taught a beautiful 30 min MTH Seated Nia Class
FOCUS: Loving our feet
INTENT: Linger in awe of our feet & all they can do
COMMENTS: Taking time to sink into our feet from a seated position. Let's focus on how different the heel lead, whole foot, ball of foot can feel from a chair. Spread your toes, check in with each joint. Celebrate the 7000 nerve endings in the bottom of each foot! Challenge your brain to play with same hand same foot, then opposite hand opposite foot throughout the class. Have FUN!
Wednesday: Irene led an amazing healing Feldenkrais experience
FOCUS: Sensing the details
INTENT: Opening the chest and improving balance and optimism
Typical results from this lesson are increased capacity to take a full breath, a more open chest, being stabler on each foot and feeling more sense of possibilities. Fun discussions at the end about experimenting with driving positions and learning how to learn.
