Feldenkrais with Marwa al-Sawi: ARMS WIDE OPEN

Teacher(s):
Marwa al-Sawi

Arms Wide Open:When you move one arm, where is the other one?When you turn to reach for something what is the rest of you doing?How would it be to explore ways to engage our entire selves to expand our sense of presence in space?In a side-lying position, we will track what we know in opening our arms, and gradually learn more about how we can (re)organize ourselves, and find pleasure and softness in opening our arms wide.Bring a mat, head support (pillows), your curiosity and imagination.

About the teacher(s):
Marwa al-Sawi
Marwa al-Sawi

Motherhood ignited in me a deep desire for grounding and pain management, so I studied the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education, from 2007-2014. Working with myself and others, I recognized a need to understand emotional reactions to movement and physical pain, which led me to study Somatic Experiencing. I am now in my intermediate year of training. I am a mother learning to adapt to my children's growing need for independence, a woman learning to embrace my body's hormonal changes, and a somatic practitioner moved by intrigue, curiosity and gratitude.
