SUMMARY:Anti-Fragile Walking Step by Step
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this 2-day workshop\n\nWould you like to walk with greater ease and pleasure? Most of us walk with deeply grooved habits\, repeating movements that lead to pain and stiffness.

Taught by Andrew Gibbons\, GCFP. \nIn this 2-day course\, you’ll raise your walking from an unconscious habit to an informed practice. You’ll emerge with a clearer perspective on how walking works and the art of transferring weight elegantly from leg to leg. You’ll learn what\, why\, and how to practice with greater specificity. Then walking can become a path to health. It can be your zen\, your gym\, and your joy. Limit: 25 participants. Room for 10 more as 5/1. \nWho Benefits\n\nTeachers & practitioners of somatic modalities: Feldenkrais Method®\, yoga\, Alexander Technique and more\nMartial artists\nPerforming artists\nAnyone who’d like to stand and walk with greater efficiency and pleasure\n\nFeedback from Last Year\n“The work Andrew has done is critical in our everyday life and applicable to the many other relative aspects of upright movement.“ \n“I better understand how my feet support my skeleton\, and when properly organized and with mindful attention I can improve my organization. I learned just how much power I can have when my bones have proper support from down below.“ \nThree Crucial Moments\nThe course focuses on three crucial moments in walking. These moments will set the parameters to test and improve your skeletal support\, muscular efficiency\, and balance. \nAs a participant you will learn: \n\nHow walking is learned\, and how learning is walked.\nWhy your soft tissue cannot survive a disorganized skeleton.\nTo see and sense shearing forces that poor walking creates\, and learn how to move better by choice.\nKey relationships in the foot\, ankle\, and knee that every good walk maintains.\n“Do-anywhere” practices that help you tune your walking balance and maintain it throughout the day.\nHow to use observational skills to improve by observing other people and yourself.\nAwareness Through Movement® practices that deepen your understanding and skill.\n\nInstructor Andrew Gibbons is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher in New York City. He’s spent the last 8 years uncovering the moments in walking that tell us the most about our posture and self organization. In his private practice\, he teaches the humans of New York how to organize themselves better for the second half of life than they did for the first. Andrew has been a Feldenkrais Teacher since 2003. Now an assistant trainer\, he’s on the staff of Jeff Haller’s IOPS Academy\, a graduate program for Feldenkrais teachers in NYC and Seattle. \nSCHEDULE\nSaturday & Sunday\, June 2 & 3\, 10am-4 pm. \nREGISTRATION\nAdvance: $295.\nLate: $325 After May 1.\nAt door: $350.\nRegister on Brown Paper Tickets.\nOr send a check payable to “Dallas Feldenkrais” to: 3515 Cedar Springs Rd.\, Dallas\, TX 75219

SUMMARY:Gaga & Toolbox Workshop with Amy Morrow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 3-day Gaga experience for dancers & people in Dallas.\n\n\n\n“While Gaga is a serious new way of training the body\, it is also about connecting to pleasure and. . . realizing that there’s nothing wrong with being silly.”\n— Gia Kourlas\, The New York Times\n\n \n\n\n\nGaga is a new way of gaining knowledge and self-awareness through your body. PHOTO: Gadi Dagon. \nYou’ll be guided using a series of evocative movement instructions that build on each other.

It’s a creative framework for you to connect to with your body and imagination\, increase physical awareness\, improve flexibility and stamina\, and experience the pleasure of movement in a welcoming\, accepting atmosphere. \n\n\n\nLed by Amy Diane Morrow\, who graduated from the inaugural teacher training program directed by founder Ohad Naharin.\n\n\n \n\n\nOpen to people ages 16+\, regardless of their background in dance or movement.

Gaga provides a framework for discovering and strengthening your body and adding flexibility\, stamina\, and agility while lightening the senses and imagination. Gaga raises awareness of physical weaknesses\, awakens numb areas\, exposes physical fixations\, and offers ways for their elimination. The work improves instinctive movement and connects conscious and unconscious movement\, and it allows for an experience of freedom and pleasure in a simple way\, in a pleasant space\, in comfortable clothes\, accompanied by music\, each person with himself and others. Its emphasis on self-discovery complements Awareness Through Movement®.\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dallas Movement Lab\, in partnership with The Theorists & Arts Mission Oak Cliff.

SUMMARY:Uncover Internal Strength
DESCRIPTION:A 2-Day Workshop with Jeff Haller\, PhD\, GCFP\nHow do you define strength? \nChinese and Japanese martial arts distinguish between internal and external practice. The internal arts utilize internal strength as a basis from which to move. Often practitioners of these arts refer to flowing energy and to the practice of grounding. Within the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education there are clear principles\, both biological and in physics\, that lead us into a unique perspective on internal strength. \n\nJoin us for this two-day workshop to investigate how to utilize these principles to connect with your own internal strength and improve your own functional self-organization. \nLimit: 30 participants. SOLD OUT.\n \nYou’ll get tools to re-discover: \n\nSkeletal support\nYour connection with the ground\nHow your breath can support better movement\n\nWHO BENEFITS\n\nAthletes\nYoga\, Tai Chi\, Aikido and other movement practitioners\nAnyone who’s interested in learning more about & improving their patterns of self-use\n\nWHEN\nSaturday & Sunday\, Sept. 16 & 17\, 10 am- 5 pm \nCost: $300; At door $350.\nStudents $200 (paid by check/cash).
