Description
The buzz words “core strength” are often associated with the Pilates Method. However, Moshe Feldenkrais showed us a different way to address core strength through many complex and multidimensional Awareness Through Movement lessons that involve the core muscles. In this workshop, we will study the anatomy and function of these muscles, learn core-specific movements, demonstrate how the Pilates technique addresses the use of the relevant muscles, and study lessons from Moshes Feldenkrais’s Alexander Yanai series that include core muscles. Finally, contrasting the Feldenkrais Method and Pilates approaches, we will discuss what Feldenkrais practitioners have to offer to core strength.
This workshop is also open to the public.
