The Finnish Feldenkrais Association organises

Breathing, Movement and Interaction

We know that our lives depend on our ability to breathe, but we may not consciously think about how the way we breathe and the quality of our breathing is also related to the quality of our lives. We may unnecessarily and unconsciously breathe in a restricted way, for example because of pain or old habits. The diversity of our breathing allows our bodies to function holistically, enhances our natural potential and strengthens our presence with ourselves and our environment.

In the Finnish Feldenkrais Association's autumn course, we will use the Feldenkrais method to explore breathing, fluidity of movement, and interaction with self, others and the environment. Feldenkrais' gentle and slow movement patterns open up the possibility to sensitize the senses, learn to breathe more freely, find new kinds of body awareness and understanding of bodily experiences, as well as possibilities to act and interact with oneself and the environment in a new way.

The workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to get to know themselves and their movement in a deeper and more holistic way.

Time and place: 23.9.2023 at 11.30-16.30 Studio Fon, Nahkurinkatu 8 Turku.

Instructed by Johanna Lapinniemi and Maria Nurmela
