Feldenkrais in Victoria, The Nature of Movement, Amanda Lynn Halldorson, Feldenkrais Practitioner, Victoria
Feldenkrais is a practice that takes time and commitment. For optimal learning, students are encouraged to attend more than one class per week when time permits and to receive personal lessons when possible, as these lessons are suited to meet the individual needs of each student. For $150, the Resilience Card allows you to participate in any ten Awareness Through Movement classes and to receive one personal Functional Integration lesson. This card is intended to offer you more options to deepen your personal practice.
Classes and workshops do not exceed eight students, to ensure optimal learning. Please register early so I can hold a spot for you.
All ages and abilities are welcome. Contact me if you have any questions, would like to register, or want information about accessibility and parking. Visit the calendar for a quick overview and links to maps. The Nature of Movement is located at 2020 Douglas Street in Victoria, BC.
Awareness Through Movement ClassesThese classes are fun, engaging, and useful for anyone interested in expanding self-awareness and enhancing day-to-day activities. The lessons create the conditions to explore options in movement which influence all facets of living. Curious explorations of movement, sensory awareness, and attention allow you to experience changes in how you engage with the environment around you.
Learn how to better support yourself and how to move with increased ease in the activities you love to do, while gaining more resilience in life. Resilience is the ability to increase your capacity to learn and adapt. It refers to the degree to which a system is able to self-organize and to the amount of change a system can take and still retain structure and function. Classes are offered twice a week, to develop and explore your resilient nature.

Prenatal Classes: Movement and Myth for MomsBirth is a great initiation in a woman’s life. The intention of this six-week series is to create a safe environment for you to explore the wisdom of your own body and to move through an ancient myth of the great goddess Inanna as a means to support you through this transition.
You will explore novel ways to feel more comfort in your changing body through gentle movement lessons. Classes will help you to find comfort in movement and to enhance body awareness while expanding your relationship to your breath and pelvic floor.
Woven into each class will be threads from the ancient myth of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, who seeks wisdom from the underworld through a profound decent. Wisdom will be harvested from images from Her journey and from the landscapes of your body. My hope is that both will contribute to supporting you through this profound and sacred time in your life.
When:
Wednesdays, June 28—August 2
6:30–8:00 pm
Cost:
$120 early registration (before June 15th)
$140 regular registration
