Listening to the Lungs: Feldenkrais with Marwa al-Sawi
.webp)
Listening to the Lungs: The breath can often be a cause of anxiety, just by mentioning it. This exploration is not about learning a new style of breathing, rather it is about tuning into our lungs, and creating space to listen to its capacity for expansion and contraction and breathing.There will be little to no movement in this lesson. Please, make sure you are comfortable. Have cushions, matts, foot stools...whatever you need to feel supported. While it is easiest to be laying on the ground for this, feel free to sit or be inclined if that suits you more.
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.
