What is Walking

$60.00

In this workshop you will understand more of what you do when you walk and how you do it and find ways of walking that are easier, more efficient and more graceful. Putting one foot in front of the other will take on new meaning with insights into how much the rest of you can be walking with you. No previous experience is necessary.

by Alan Questel

We all walk… a lot! The only other things we do more thank walking are breathe, move our eyes and use our hands. But walking is much more than just putting one foot in front of the other (anyone who has been challenged in their walking will tell you that). And with all that walking we do, do we really understand it…? In this workshop you will understand more of what you do when you walk and how you do it and find ways of walking that are easier, more efficient and more graceful. Putting one foot in front of the other will take on new meaning with insights into how much the rest of you can be walking with you. No previous experience is necessary.

Alan S. Questel trained directly with Dr. Feldenkrais in Amherst, Massachusettes. Since that time, he has lectured and taught at hospitals, colleges and Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs throughout the world. He is known for his clarity, creativity and down-to-earth style of teaching. He brings a depth of understanding, humor and a gentle human perspective to the learning of the Method and creates lively conditions for learning.

An actor before becoming interested in the Feldenkrais Method, Alan worked and toured with Jerzy Grotowski (My Dinner With Andre) and Paul Sills (Second City, Chicago and Story Theatre). Even today, one of his great interests is the embodiment of creativity, and he has developed a body of work for performers utilizing the Feldenkrais Method. Alan sees the Method as a means for individual maturation, and aspires towards making this appreciable and concrete for his students both in training programs and in his practice.
