In this workshop, we will shift the focus from movements that lead to a specific outcome, i.e. a yoga asana, to a movement process that potentiates your brain’s plasticity, thereby improving any desired outcome spontaneously and effortlessly. It is a process of approximating a result, discovering your limiting habits, and accessing new possibilities.
Instructions:
1. The movements will be slow and easy. Dress accordingly and wear loose-fitting clothes.
2. Bring a folded towel or firm pillow (garden kneeling pads work great) to support your head when lying on the side, high enough to fill the space between your head and shoulder.
3. Have a chair or stool in the room (we may use it)
4. Adjust your camera to capture your entire body lying and sitting on the floor.
Early on, Gabriele worked as a physical therapist in hospitals and private practice. Her interest in rehabilitation from brain trauma led her to study the Feldenkrais Method, which has informed every aspect of her life for 30 years. Over the past decade, Gabriele has had the opportunity to share this transformational movement method with HYMT sangha members at meditation retreats. She maintains a private practice in Oakland, CA, working with children and adults.
