We all move in habitual ways. Feldenkrais helps us find movement options we forgot or never discovered before. The result can be greater ease of movement, efficiency and grace. People often turn to Feldenkrais following an injury or when they develop chronic pain or tension. But we can all benefit from this awareness training, whether dancer, yogi, athlete, senior, or simply someone curious about how their body moves in space. These Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes involve the teacher guiding students through a series of focused movements as they lie on a mat, sit on a chair, or stand. Each class focuses on a particular function or movement pattern. Learn more about Feldenkrais. PLEASE NOTE: Mats and props are provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own mat specifically designed for the Feldenkrais practice, which may be purchased online at WellMats.

It lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others. We all know that laughter makes us feel good. Laughter is gentle exercise. It fill your lungs and body with oxygen, deep-clears your breathing passages and exercises your lungs. When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones & chemicals that have startling positive effects on our system. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted & more. Western science is just starting to discover the great effects of laughter. Laughter Yoga provides the opportunity to laugh, without reason, to enjoy the countless benefits to body and spirit that laughter offers. "Laughter Yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises. It is a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It approaches laughter as a body exercise so it's easy to laugh even if you're depressed or in a bad mood. Last year I highlighted Laughter Yoga on my TV program. I've tried it, and it works."

BODYLOVE REVOLUTION: MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR BODY with Lisa Carmen Saturday, June 1, 1-3p ENROLL NOW $39 in advance, $45 at door if space available "I'll love my body. As soon as I lose 20 pounds." "My body is changing, and I hate what's happening." "My partner and I have sex with the lights off." "Pool party? Yeah, right. I'll be over in the corner, in my sarong." "I feel bad about myself when I'm around beautiful women." "I've been sucking it in since I was in middle school." "Nothing ruins a good mood like a fitting room mirror." Any of these feel familiar? Truth is, body image has nothing to do with size, and everything to do with how you FEEL about your body. 97% of women will be cruel to their bodies today. On average, women think 13 brutal thoughts toward themselves every day. It's time to end the cruelty.
