Donna Bervinchak, Feldenkrais Practitioner and owner of the Improving Through Movement studio, in Lancaster, is offering a discount to first-time Feldenkrais students. Classes, held at the Susquehanna Dance Center, in Mountville, are $5 for new students during National Feldenkrais Week, May 6 through 15.

 

Every year, Feldenkrais communities throughout North America use early May to celebrate Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais’ great contribution to learning, movement and possibilities.

 

During a Feldenkrais, Awareness Through Movement class, participants learn self-awareness by exploring movements similar to the developmental movements a baby does in the first year of life. Benefits of revisiting these movements as an adult include: increased flexibility, better quality of movement, improved spinal alignment, enhanced attention span and more.

 

Active people find that they recover from injuries quicker, and learn how to prevent them from occurring. They report that by attending classes regularly, they become more elegant and powerful during their leisure activities. Artistic people find that studying movement in this way accentuates their creative process in the studio, and is helpful in lifting writer’s block.

 

Classes are at 11 a.m. on Tuesdays, and 5:45 p.m. on Thursdays. Other services include Functional Integration sessions, at the Improving Through Movement studio, tailored specifically to each client.

 Cost $15, drop-in; class cards are available. Location: 120 College Ave., Ste. 120, Mountville. For more information, call 717-285-0399 or visit FeldenkraisBlog.com.
