THE BODY FEELS classes are a gentle form of working with the body and emotions, based on Alexander Lowen’s approach. The aim is to develop contact with your own sensations and mindfulness of signals coming from the body.
Working on yourself provides the possibility of feeling — without needing to suppress emotions or express them impulsively. In a safe space you can learn to be in contact with what arises, to notice emotions, tensions and impulses, and gradually understand their meaning.
The classes help to listen to the body and discover it as an ally, not an enemy. Through movement, breath and attentive presence you can re-establish contact with yourself and build a kinder relationship with your body — at your own pace and with respect for boundaries.
The group is experiential and OPEN — you can sign up for the whole cycle or for individual sessions only.
Classes take place once a month, on a Friday. Classes will run if at least 8 people register. Information about whether the group will take place will be provided by 12:00 on the Thursday before the scheduled session.

If someone is in psychotherapy, it is good for the therapist to know about participation in the workshops. People after traumatic events or sensitive to shouting are asked to be particularly careful — these classes are not for everyone and not at every life moment. In the same edition, couples, family members or close friends should not participate together.
“Much depends on you. The time and energy you give to the body is the best investment for you. In return you will receive health and pleasure, which are more valuable than power and money. You are really investing in yourself when YOU ARE IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BODY, and YOUR BODY IS IN CONTACT WITH YOU.
We use the word exercise to describe how to work with your body to be more vital. However, the word exercise is a misleading name for bioenergetic work. What you really do by doing exercises is TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, which means BEING INTERESTED IN YOURSELF, FEELING AND LOVING YOURSELF.
Do not work with your body as if it were a machine or a horse. BE YOUR BODY IN ITS MOVEMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND EXPRESSION.”
— “The Way to Health and Vitality”, Alexander Lowen and Leslie Lowen
