Exploration of our breath as a unified vision of inner and outer space. We will learn how to slow down and deeply expand our lung capacity, utilizing our whole being and spatial reality as a unified experience. Yogic breath retention patterns will be offered as gentle challenges. Benefits include oxygenation of cells, breathing with greater ease, reduction of stress, improved mindfulness, and a greater awareness of being.

Kim will show how utilizing Feldenkrais-based movements facilitates our organs' mobility and motility of our organs. Through years of research, Kim has established which specific movements mobilize particular organs. She is close to completing her book on explaining the Feldenkrais Method, visceral manipulation, and instruction in the Organ Mobility Exercises. She has developed Recipes for common digestive challenges, such as reflux and constipation, as well as hormonal-based issues such as PMS and Infertility. Specifically, for this presentation, Kim will focus on the effect on the lungs. Kim will show through her research and testimonials from patients how these particular Feldenkrais-based movements have consistently and repeatedly assisted certain physical challenges.

Your breath is the breath that is the movement itself - In this expanded workshop you will learn that when tensions are released, the breath is free, when the breath is free it moves through the body like tides. With full and deep breathing these wave-like movements give a feeling of being alive through and through.
