Introductory Feldenkrais Movement Class with Marwa al-Sawi
About the class: Welcome to a seated exploration. Feel free to prepare a mat on the floor, a yoga block or a chair with a wide-ish base to use. We will explore how we organize ourselves in sitting, how we coordinate simple movements, and how that affects our ability to orient to our surroundings. About MarwaMotherhood 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.
