These are often the result of habitual physical, mental, and emotional patterns that take away our ability to choose how we want to move and behave.But what if there was a way to transform your life and improve your health through gentle movement?Guild-certified Feldenkrais teacher and body language expert Lavinia Plonka shares that your body is not an immutable substance but a shapeshifting sea of possibility that’s predominantly liquid.Everything about you is in movement all the time — your breath, your blood, your heart, your neurons sparking through your brain.Lavinia explains that the power to transform — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — lies within a deeper understanding of how you move. With this insight, you can become more flexible, improve your range of motion, and experience increased health and vitality.As you’re moving, you’re sensing, feeling emotions, thinking, and synthesizing, all at the same time, which is why developing more functional habits and intentional/attentional movement helps your brain make different choices in all areas of your life.The Feldenkrais Method is akin to alchemy, says Lavinia. It uses gentle, well-planned, and sophisticated movement sequences to reconnect your mind with your body by developing your awareness of your movement patterns.Using the Feldenkrais Method, you can awaken the latent possibilities that are hidden under your habitual patterns — and through subtle movement, you can transform your inner lead of physical impairments and emotional stress into the shining gold of physical dexterity and emotional wellbeing.Lavinia has helped people improve their movement, behavior, relationships, and careers for over 35 years as a Feldenkrais teacher, a teacher of the Alba Method, and as a lead instructor of Emotional Body.

No one says, “My back is anxious” or “My back feels abandoned.” Yet, even our common phrases intuit this emotional part of our anatomy. We say things like, “She has no backbone,” “I feel like he doesn’t have my back,” “It was like a stab in the back,” “Back me up, here,” or “I’ve got my back against the wall, and I can’t get out of it!”Anxiety, grief, and insecurity can influence the muscles of your back. Combine that with sitting too much or poor postural choices, and you’ve got a recipe for discomfort. If you add fear of pain to the mix, you’re literally stuck in a holding pattern — holding yourself together or holding on for dear life.Discover the stories held in your back, and learn potent strategies for regaining suppleness and support, so you can move with ease and pleasure.In this session, you’ll:Gain a deeper understanding of the anatomy of your backDiscover the connection between feeling unsupported and back painExperience a movement lesson for relaxing the back Uncover how fear impacts your back and hipsLearn a strategy for lengthening and strengthening your back while improving your postureModule 2: Use Your Breath to Reduce the Tension in Your Muscles & Sleep BetterIf you’re alive and reading this, you’re breathing! Breath is fundamental to our existence, and “proper” breathing is discussed a lot lately, but how can it support all of your functions?There’s a powerful chemical (and alchemical) process that takes place with every breath you take. Developing a better understanding of your habitual breath patterns can calm your nervous system, reduce the tension in your muscles, and help you sleep. Learn how to employ an awareness of your breath to engage in a deeper study of yourself and experience deep tranquility.In this session, you’ll:Learn a movement meditation that takes you deep into your lungsUnderstand how your breath is connected to your emotionsUnpack the chemistry of breathingTake a historical look at the use of breath across traditionsDevelop strategies for using your breath to counter anxietyModule 3: Recover a Sense of Safety & Develop Emotional Resilience by Becoming More FlexibleFeeling fragile or unsafe can make you even more prone to injury because it throws you off balance. Tension can make your muscles hard and affect your ability to be spontaneous during times of challenge. Tightening in this way limits your options for recovery, but the good news is that becoming more flexible can reverse this.Flexibility has more than just physical benefits, however. Softening and recovering a sense of safety also helps you become more mentally flexible and emotionally resilient.In this session, you’ll:Discover a movement for improving mobility and resilienceExperience a meditation guiding you toward feeling safe and flexibleLearn strategies for fall prevention and recoveryGain a new understanding of how modern research is connecting resilience to wellbeingModule 4: Find Your Inner Authority to Create New Freedom in Your LifeOur lives are made of habits, from how we get out of bed to how we make decisions. These habits are essential for living our lives, but sometimes we can become prisoners of the very habits we developed in order to survive. We end up being governed by physical, mental, and emotional patterns that take away our ability to choose how we want to behave.Shoulder and neck tension are common afflictions that impact our ability to move — whether we’re attempting to turn around, hold our heads high, or swing a tennis racket with accuracy and power.By freeing your shoulders and neck, you’ll find new freedom and learn to exercise yourown agency, instead of being at the mercy of your habitual limitations.In this session, you’ll:Uncover the connection between your shoulders and your emotionsLearn how your shoulders and neck communicate to your brain and each otherExperience a movement lesson that will free your neck and shoulder areaGain a deeper understanding of shoulder anatomyDiscover strategies for relieving shoulder tension while sittingModule 5: Liberate the Power of Your Pelvis for Increased Self-Confidence & Improved PostureYour pelvic region is not only the geographical center of your body, it’s also your primal energy center in many ancient healing traditions. It’s the home of your root and sacral chakras in Ayurvedic medicine, the location of your hara in Japanese medicine, and the residence of your abdominal dantian in Chinese medicine.All of these traditions emphasize the importance of liberating and harnessing the power of your pelvis because engaging your power center improves your self-confidence and posture, helping you move through life with a clarity of intention.In this session, you’ll:Discover the secret behind power posingExperience a movement lesson that frees the pelvisLearn a meditation on the movement of energy Take part in a visualization exercise for healing pelvic traumaGain an understanding of the connection between your core and your hip jointsModule 6: Move Your Spine Like the Ocean to Unlock Hidden Tensions & Latent GraceIn Module 5, you learned how to cultivate energy in your power center to energize your whole self. When you remember that you’re 70% water, you can also learn to flow like an ocean wave, a sinuous serpent, or flowing seaweed. You can begin to undulate and revel in your own fluidity and grace because the ability to bend, lean, twist, arch, and stretch are your birthright.In this session, you’ll:Learn how to differentiate your vertebrae for fluid movementReceive a deeper understanding of how serpentine movement has influenced sacred and ordinary dance throughout historyExperience your body’s undulatory capacity to unlock hidden tensionsTake part in a movement lesson that invites the movement of the ocean into your skeletonModule 7: Create Your Talisman for the Future to Turn Your Personal Lead Into GoldAlchemy is defined as “a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination.” What do you want to transform, create, or combine for a rewarding and joyful life?In this final module, you’ll weave together the threads of the first six modules into a beautiful tapestry of a new self-image that you can take with you into the world.
