Finding Balance:
Embodying Equanimity
A One Day Workshop in Philadelphia
Saturday, June 16, 2012 10 AM –5 PM
Balance is much more than avoiding a tumble.
The quality of your balance effects the fluidity of your gait and your general feeling of comfort and safety.
Balance can be refined and improved as you learn how to:
• Sense your “zone of safety”.
• Use autonomic cues to recognize a state of relaxed balance where standing and walking are effortless and pleasurable.
This workshop will apply the Awareness Through Movement work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and of Elsa Gindler to:
• Deepening the ease, safety and stability of balance in standing and walking at different speeds.
• Alignment and movements of the most significant balancing joints—the ankles, hip joints and the atlanto-occipital joint (where the head balances on the spine).
Appropriate for individuals who wish to work on their balance as well as professionals in the moving and healing arts, such as PTs, OTs, body workers and psychotherapists.
Location: First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia, 2125 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19103
