Six Optional Weekly Follow Up Classes will be offered: See Schedule Below

These workshops will offer a supportive & enjoyable atmosphere for learning how to cultivate personalized movement mastery. There will be a focus on enabling each participant to successfully develop their new-found skills & insights beyond the workshop. Bring your curiosity and wear comfortable layers of clothing you can easily move in.  Please note instructor's statement below.

These workshops are specially designed for:
1) Persons who enjoy learning
2)  Persons turned off by traditional exercise but who value personal fitness
3) Fitness Enthusiasts who love improving their movement quality
4) Persons who want to experience a more youthful, able body
5) Movement Professionals
*No experience necessary.
*CEU (Continuing Education Units) offered.

Upon completion you can expect to:
1) ... redefine posture as a dynamic organization versus a static position
2)  ... understand how your improved posture leads to greater ease, joy & confidence in everyday movements.
3) ... have new insight into perceptions of a limited body versus a capable body.  (Including redeeming the common scapegoats of: too stiff, too old, too much arthritis, too heavy, too weak, etc...)
4) ... be competent in using movement learning/practices for pain relief, promoting well being & performance enhancement.
                                           
Israel Sostrin is a licensed physical therapist, a certified Feldenkrais ® Practitioner and student of Spacial Dynamics ®.

Instructors Statement: This series of workshops has been percolating for a number of years. The concepts & techniques that will be presented are a culmination of my steady private practice working with individuals as well as my deep roots in the Feldenkrais Method ® and my newer cultivation of Spacial Dynamics ®. I am very focused on providing an opportunity for each participant to not only be inspired by their new-found/developed abilities, but to have real competence in continuing a practice that can be done by anyone, no matter their lifestyle, busyness, financial means, or physical environment at home and work.
