DanceMode is excited to have Seattle-based Feldenkrais Practitioner Rachel Hamstra in Portland for a 2 hrs Pelvic Floor Workshop! Space is limited to 10 people, so register now!

The pelvic floor is a mysterious set of muscles that dancers hear about a lot and use a ton, but that can all happen without knowing much about it or knowing how to access it consciously. In this Feldenkrais workshop, we'll clear up some of those mysteries, and become more aware of how the pelvic floor works and learn how to access it to help you become a stronger dancer. We'll be exploring how balance, propulsion, and clarity of steps within andoutside of a partnership improve with the help of the pelvic floor.

This week, we'll being doing a classic Feldenkrais arm lesson. It's great for stiff shoulders, computer-or-phone-use tension in forearms and hands, and that hunchy feeling you get in your upper back and chest. Ongoing weekly Awareness Through Movement class.

Happy New Year! This week's lesson in class will be a new clock variation that we haven't done before. It takes the pelvic clock, which we're already familiar with, and uses it as a tool to clarify a head clock. It's great for all kinds of back and neck soreness, jaw tightness, and spine mobility. Ongoing weekly Awareness Through Movement class. Beginners welcome. Drop-ins welcome if space allows.

This week, a lesson that I've nicknamed the Anti Computer Hunch. It's also excellent for self care as we come up on the craziness of the holidays.

This is also the last Thursday class of the year! Wednesday class will continue through the holidays.

This week, we'll be working with the idea of our midline - where it is, how we relate to it, and how clearly we can define it

Hello, Thanksgiving (and the holiday season stress that comes with it)! I've heard some people say this week is moving too fast, others can't wait for it to end - must be time to hit the reset button with a breathing lesson.

There will be no class on Thursday this week because of the holiday. There's lots of drop-in space in my Wednesday class though! Come on by.

There are so many definitions of "core support" out there that it can get confusing. We'll take a Feldenkrais perspective on the question and look at how your pelvis, ribcage, and head connect and relate to one another, and how you can find muscular support through clarifying those connections.

Drop-ins welcome if space allows. Rachel will be out of town, so Beth Cooper will be filling in.  She'll be teaching a follow-up lesson about hands and feet after last week's dominant vs non-dominant hand lesson. There will be no class Nov 12th.
