Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons with Lila Hurwitz These are structured movement classes that are verbally directed and give you a framework for exploring how to move with greater ease, efficiency and pleasure. A lesson might focus on a specific area of the body; be structured around a simple function like reaching or turning; a developmental movement from childhood; or focus on important connections through the body. Since the goal is learning, you move comfortably and gently, so your attention can be on HOW you move, not on how far, how much or how fast. You cultivate curiosity and playfulness, and experiment with options: how can you do this movement so that it is more enjoyable, easier, more satisfying?

Why Feldenkrais®? 

• Feldenkrais reduces aches, pains and stress and improves freedom in your movement. It can be especially helpful for an aging body or chronic discomfort.

• Many people notice significant improvements after their first class. They feel a greater sense of well being and ease in daily life.

• There are hundreds of ATM lessons, varying in difficulty, for all levels of movement ability. Lessons can be modified and adapted to best suit your comfort and ability.
