Tamala Bakkensen synthesizes the work of two brilliant teachers, Kristin Linklater and Moshe’ Feldenkrais, to help you liberate your body and free your natural voice by using them in healthier, more pleasurable and intelligent ways. Powerful Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Lessons® will help to clarify the ways in which your skeleton can support the weight and work, and free your breath and voice. Where your breath goes, your voice goes.
Understanding our skeleton and its support of our whole body in gravity from the ground is the foundation for any performing artist in discovering how to “find maximum affect with minimal effort.”, to free muscles and breath in order to fulfill genuine impulses through our body and voice.
In this class, you will focus on finding more freedom in breathing by developing a more intimate relationship with your whole skeleton from the ground up. Students will learn about functional anatomy to help them expand their self-image and choices in movement. This in turn allows more freedom for breath to move your body in different relationships to gravity.
Whether lying, sitting, standing, walking, or running, this is an opportunity to reconnect with the vital rhythm of your essential breath as you move through life. You will apply these principles to a piece of text you would like to explore.
Discover how moving with deep awareness, sensing, and feeling where impulses arise in your body and mind, and releasing habitual patterns of tension and muscular effort will help you to embody changes and unlock your potential to move and breathe with more freedom and pleasure in all you do.
