Quiet Hands, Quiet Mind

If the hands lead, will the mind follow?
Since a large part of the brain controls hand movements, once we quiet our hands, our mind will quiet down as well.  You will find that brain chatter, anxiety and nervousness will lessen to the degree that hand stiffness lessens and your hands relax.

During this Feldenkrais workshop, we will explore small and gentle hand movement lessons.  You will discover ways to release excessive tension in your hands so that at rest, they will be softer to the touch.  Being able to release muscular tightness in your hands will give you greater sensitivity and freedom to move them the way you want to.  Whether holding a hammer or a toothbrush, you will become aware of how much pressure is needed – and use no more pressure than necessary.  Release the tension you have been carrying in your hands, and notice a general calming of the mind.

Donna Bervinchak will teach this workshop on the 5th floor of the Alonzo King LINES Dance Center at 26 Seventh Street / Market Street.  To sign up for this workshop, call the Dance Center at 415.863.3040 x221.
