Prevent premature aging of skin, muscles, joints and bones with the Feldenkrais Method and Alexander Technique.

As you age you lose suppleness because the tissues in your body structure slowly dehydrate.

How do you actually get to experience the dehydration?  This is a reasonable question to have. You'll know because your joints start getting stiffer and it becomes more difficult to move your body.

Some areas dehydrate faster than others, for instance the knees.

Fortunately this natural aging process can be mitigated and even reversed with skillfully designed body movement sequences.

A welcomed bonus of Feldenkrais & Alexander Technique lessons is that your body naturally starts getting re-hydrated.  You'll experience that as a general softening of the body and an improvement in flexibility.

This impacts in a positive way, directly in your skin, muscles, joints and bones.

There are of course other important benefits like improvement of functional movement skills. You start noticing that you move with more ease, less effort & pain.

A Feldenkrais lesson feels like giving yourself a massage. In this way you bring circulation to dehydrated stiff areas of your body.  

Add Alexander Technique intentional directions and you seal in the benefits of the Feldenkrais movement sequences.

Meditation on the Five Elements is an introduction to the process of becoming familiar with the five elements. The idea is to learn to measure and use these organic qualities which are an integral part of our physical, mental and energetic nature.

By knowing this qualitative scale, we can use it to design, heal, regulate and interact in our social and physical environments. The most practical way to do this is through a meditation on the energetic centers in our body or chakras as they are popularly known.

By recognizing the basic qualities of the five elements present in nature, we can project them into our own energy centers. By feeling these qualities in our energy centers, we can begin to give more vital information to our central nervous system.

This starts a process of rebalancing and balancing the vital and physical energy in our body. We can facilitate the process of  meditation with a cocoa drink of ceremonial degree, which helps us to focus our mental energy on the chakras.
