Consider that the quality of one's movement deeply impacts the quality of one's life. Ask yourself if the quality of your movement is supporting the quality of life to which you aspire. If you think there might be room for wider possibilities or improvement, give the Feldenkrais Method® a try!  See our article about the method. Check out this video on YouTube.

Move With Elan's 6-week SPRING series of Awareness Through Movement® classes will be held in Durham and Carrboro beginning May 14 or 15, respectively. See our class schedule for specific dates by venue. Note that in any given series, the lessons can be enjoyed by anyone with curiosity about learning how one does what they do makes a difference in exactly what one does.

Durham classes on Thursdays (6-7pm, beginning 5/14) and Carrboro classes on Fridays (11am-noon, beginning 5/15) will explore how you can find yourself "Gardening in Comfort" the Feldenkrais way. As gardeners, we strive to create places of beauty and sustenance. Yet, while creating, we too often hurt ourselves. In healthy, graceful, efficient movement, all parts of the self work together to create the intended action. If parts of you are moving in a way that contradicts your intended action, you experience discomfort and effort, and perhaps an increase in pain. You will work a lot harder than necessary to accomplish your task. In other words, some of your movement strategies may be the "weeds" in your garden of movements. .

To enrich your gardening experience, join us as we explore the movements of gardening: bending, straightening, twisting, pushing, pulling, hauling, and lifting. Discover how to easily work in your garden and let your physical experience of gardening match the delight you experience in visualizing, creating, nurturing, and enjoying your garden.

Fee for the 6-week series is $54, or drop in for $12 per class. Register by calling 967-8013. New students will be welcome to join at any time during the series.

Additionally, Karen offers classes through OLLI at Duke -- formerly Duke Institute for Learning in Retirement (DILR). These classes are on Wednesday mornings from 9 to 10:30 am, and registration is handled by OLLI. The current topic is "Your Neuroplastic Self".

Please call ahead (or email) to let us know if you intend to join our evening Durham class or Friday Carrboro class (register with OLLI or Cary for the other classes):
