The Peggi Experience focuses on teaching the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education
People live day-to-day masking muscle and joint pain until they hit a threshold. When it comes to your health and well-being, there is a better way to improve the quality of your life without going to such extremes. Simply being aware of how your mind and body work together creates more options. These more efficient choices open the possibility of improving how you function. I teach how integrating movement lessons will improve your daily life.
When we tune out, we lose our consciousness. This is awareness of how we function. We fall back into our wired-in habits and compulsions. It’s with soft attention that we find a better way to sense and feel a new pathway into ease and comfort in our daily movements.
What is Feldenkrais?
Each of us has our own specific habitual movement patterns that also reflect our emotional state, thoughts, and physical being. These ways of knowing ourselves are familiar, and too often, these patterns require too much effort. It is a cultural condition of “muscling through” – that sense of resistance that we have learned with the mindset of “no pain, no gain.” Over time, this unnecessary muscular effort generates excessive heat and friction, and without awareness of other options, it becomes inflammation. This chronic wear and tear manifests in the stress, pain, and discomfort we all experience at some point in our lives.
The Feldenkrais Method is a dynamic learning system that had its first training program in 1969 in Tel Aviv by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. His incredible life story brought him to develop this learning through movement method. He observed how infants learn through movement and developed his own method for rehabilitating injuries during WWII, when the medical model’s remedies were insufficient.
Your first experience with Feldenkrais, whether with a hands-on Functional Integration® (FI) session or an Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) class, will bring about a dramatic shift in your comfort. The learning process is ongoing even in the current COVID environment, where we have now developed
All that is necessary is a thirst for learning and a curiosity to go beyond what you know, making slow, mindful, small movements to compare and distinguish differences.
