• Attend classes either in-person or online

• Classes are often adaptable to meet each person where they are at on a particular day. That said, if you are dealing with any sigficant movement challenge it is best to contact the instructor prior to attending class.

Hips, Knees + Feet Series

All classes this month of December will focus on hips, knees and feet. Each class will be different. There will, however be continuity of theme for the classes occurring on the same day.

Mondays
10:00 - 11:00 AM ET
Online or In-Person

Tuesdays
4:30 to 5:30 PM ET
Online or In-Person

Fridays
12:30 to 1:30 PM ET
Online Only

Explore a variety of movement patterns that will improve the function of your hips, knees and feet. You'll find benefits in your walking, hiking, running and anything else involving your hips/knees/feet. Mondays will emphasize core and hamstrings as they relate to hips/knees/feet. Tuesdays will emphasize improving balance in the use of our hips, knees and feet. Fridays will emphasize improving hip rotation specifically, still with the idea of improving balance.

• Dress to stay comfortable - layers if you might get cold, perhaps a blanket nearby as well. 
• You will need some head support - ideally a few folded towels. Mexican blankets work well also. Firm pillow if that is what you have.
• Have an arms-length of space around you - above your head and out to the sides.

You don't need much of anything to practice Feldenkrais which is one of its many appeals for me. Two props, however, come in handy for Feldenkrais classes - a mat and some kind of head support. If you are just starting with Feldenkrais, there is absolutely no need to buy anything. 

Mat (free, basic)

A yoga mat can work in a pinch, but ultimately you'll need a surface that you can slide on. The combination of a yoga mat with a blanket on top provides cushioning while also allowing the possibility of sliding body parts. This is the basic mat setup I recommend. If you make it past this basic prop description I'll provide a fuller range of options.

If you are uncomfortable lying on the floor with these basic props you could add more layers (mats, blankets). If you are still uncomfortable, I am happy to help you find a setup that works.

Head Support (free, basic)

Folded towels work fine for head support. I suggest 1-2 folded towels for lying on your back, 2-3 for lying on your side. The amount varies by the dimensions and needs of your body. I can help you refine your arrangement in class.

Feel free to stop reading at this point if you are just getting started with Feldenkrais. If you have been doing Feldenkrais for a while and you're hooked, you may be interested in a more detailed description of prop options.
