Workshop: Connected Arms; Changed Self-Image, 3/28/10
“The negative aspect of learning to achieve aims is that we tend to stop learning when we have mastered sufficient skills to attain our immediate objective.” ~ Moshe Feldenkais, Awareness Through Movement
Teaching the Feldenkrais Method has been a joy for me because it has taught me to explore life. Having competed in gymnastics growing up, I learned to be very goal orientated. After my gymnastics career, I thought I would never find the same inspiration I had for gymnastics, in anything else in life. At the time, I thought this was because I had no competition to reach towards.
When I discovered the Feldenkrais Method I fell in love with the exploration of movement and the inner wisdom I gained from the lessons. This taught me to love learning for the sake of learning. I discovered that I am most happy when I am learning, and the aspect of training in gymnastics that I thrived upon, was the endless self-education and not the end result. Realizing this today, allows me to turn most everything I do into an interesting and worthy experience. This is all due to this wonderful method!
I would love to hear from all of you about how Feldenkrais has changed your outlook on your life. Following is information about my next workshop. I hope to hear from you.

Connected Arms; Changed Self-Image

“The parts of the body that are easily defined in the awareness are those that serve man daily, while the parts that are dull or mute in his awareness play only an indirect role in his life and are almost missing from his self-image when he is in action.” ~ Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
During this workshop you will learn to become aware of and utilize the skeletal connection of your arms to your shoulders, chest, vertebrae, and the rest of yourself. Your self-image will transform as your body image and self-use becomes more complete.
This will be done through the exploration of Feldenkrais, Awareness Through Movement lessons. In result you will learn to move your arms with more power and force, while using less effort. By finding this connection within yourself you will find out how to prevent overuse injuries from occurring in your hands and upper limbs by not using them excessively.
Discover the connection of your arms to your skeletal organization and find a fuller self-image.
Donna Bervinchak will teach this workshop at the Alonzo King LINES Dance Center at 26 Seventh Street / Market St., in San Francisco. To sign up for this workshop call the dance center at 415.863.3040 x221.
