Weekend Workshop In Felenkrais®-Awareness Through Movement®
Presented by Alan Questel
In Lucerne, Switzerland, October 10-11, 2009
 
Balance (or the lack of it. describes how you are, both physically and emotionally. You know what it is...but what is it really? Balance is something you only really think about when you lose it. But do you know what you lose? Finding your balance is easier and closer than you think!

In this workshop you will experience some of the fundamental ideas that inform you about your balance as well as ways you can understand it, utilize it and play with it. You will discover how instability can become mobility and how immovability can
become stability. Through Feldenkrais®–Awareness through Movement® lessons you will explore how it is you have balance, loose it and regain it again.
