Cathy talks about Flexors, Extensors and the Gravity Factor.
When do extensor muscles cause flexion? If muscles can’t push, what are they doing when we are pushing? And what does gravity have to do with it? If you want to know, this is the workshop for you!

The Feldenkrais Method® is an education system that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve coordination and enhance human functioning. Through this Method, you can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. It is based on principles of physics, biomechanics and an understanding of learning and human development. The Feldenkrais Method classes are called Awareness Through Movement® and the individual hands-on lessons are known as Functional Integration®.
In New York, you can find Feldenkrais Method classes in popular health clubs, acting schools, private studios, physical therapy offices and sometimes... even in Central Park!
