Attention, Intention & Awareness Related to Anxiety: 12 Saturdays in One Year

These monthly workshops probe into topics for Feldenkrais® Practitioners and members of the public.

There are deep underpinnings that are surprisingly foundational to optimizing our experience in Awareness Through Movement®. Historically, these underpinnings have been glossed over by primarily focusing on differentiation and by not delving into the deep principles that underpin these lessons. In these workshops, which will be interwoven into a matrix of ideas and potentialities, we will unearth the “Elusive Obvious” and gain a perspective on what it means to delve into the questions that, left unstudied, reduce what we can know and thus the clarity of what we can experience.

Each workshop is three hours and includes ATM® lessons and discussion.

  • The precision with which we attend to how we act can alter how we intend to act. In this class, we will attend to how we attend and experience how we can alter our intention, leading to a profound change in our sense of self or self-image.

• October 24, 2026: Classic Lessons with a Jeff Haller Twist

  • There are many Awareness Through Movement® lessons that are considered to be seminal and “classically taught.” In this session, we will explore several “classic lessons” from a different perspective, leading to a very different experience and understanding of potentials within ourselves in the lesson.

• November 21, 2026: Illuminating Your Skeleton

  • In general, people, including Feldenkrais® practitioners, have a vague sense of their skeleton and the precision with which we can learn to move. Our musculature and the ability to organize ourselves for action is dependent on our specificity of support. Moment by moment, we can learn to organize our skeleton to counteract the force of gravity, and learn to move from the inside-out. In this sense, we can learn to utilize our attention and intention to illuminate our skeleton as we act. We learn to move from the marrow of our bones, so to speak, into expressing ourselves into life.

• December 19, 2026: Paradigm Shifts: Pursuing Outcomes, Learning to Care for Yourself

  • Perhaps this should have been the first class on the first Saturday of the year. The paradigm of engaging in the world for gain, to improve our self, to gain attention, is a different paradigm from the world in which you learn to care for your own life and bring to life your most cherished sense of being and self.
