"Simpler" - Feldenkrais with Paweł Wójtowicz in Warsaw - workshops for health and fitness

About the event

In these workshops, the focus will primarily be on straight backs, how to use them, and how to relax the abdomen. The classes can improve posture. In a cozy, warm, and bright room in the city center. I invite you to a 2-day Feldenkrais workshop in Warsaw. We will take care of health with simple and gentle movements, rest, relax, and improve fitness and daily functioning. The classes will also help with later independent practice at home. Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, a physicist and judoka, developed a method of movement development in the 20th century in Israel, inspired by Eastern martial arts and how infants organically learn to move. He prepared hundreds of lessons for various daily activities such as standing up, walking, or even eye movements. Benefits of practice: - Relaxes muscles and improves coordination, enabling free movement and a greater range of motion. - Reduces the effort required for movement and increases the desire to move. - Breathing becomes freer, and balance, including psychological balance, becomes more stable. - Facilitates focusing attention on one topic, deeper experiences, and more effective learning. - A very good mental training. - Increases self-awareness and awareness of one's actions. - Provides new ways of moving and thus greater possibilities for action. - Helps in pain situations. For whom: Feldenkrais is a suitable method for anyone who wants to move better, develop, or recover, regardless of age or physical condition. Classes are conducted without imitation, comparison with others, or critical judgment. Everyone performs movements independently, at their own pace, gently, paying attention to themselves, their feelings, and current capabilities. At any moment, one can stop, take a break, and rest. The event is recommended for people of all ages, including older individuals and those experiencing pain. The classes are also a proposal for athletes, yogis, actors, dancers, physiotherapists, and all those who work professionally or as a hobby with the body and through the body. What the classes look like: The workshops consist of practical sessions. Between them, there are breaks and time for questions. All you need to bring is comfortable clothing. We practice without shoes. Photos from the classes can be viewed on the page: https://www.facebook.com/strona.pawla.wojtowicza/photos. All classes can later be performed independently at home.
