This weekend immersion was so potent. I had no idea the playground that was available within the space between Up and Down. I found the richness to be in the simplicity. It made the ordinary, extraordinary.
I rise, stand, sit and lie down continuously in my day to day, however, by slowing down and consciously participating in transitions with awareness, I discovered a greater sense of easeful strength and supported fluidity. The course was a unique collection of explorations that pulsated with playful learning and meditative reflection. I felt clearly guided to use my body in new patterns and was left with enough space to marinade in my own experience and discoveries.
I was new to the practice of feldenkris, and really resonated with the principles. They made total sense in my body and saw so many ways that I could apply them in a variety of forms and activities. As someone who facilitates yoga classes, it has given me new awareness and tools to instruct mindful transitions between asanas.
Elia and Irene were such an amazing team, and ooze with their passions for movement and making a difference in the world. Each brought their unique perspective, expertise and flavour to each movement which added depth and dimension to the teachings.
