Comfortable walking contributes to a happy and healthy life. A satisfying walk is a joy at any stages or age of your life, but dynamic movement becomes more essential as we age to prevent limitations and conditions such as osteoporosis. No matter what your age or history, more ease is the direct result of how you move.

This course will lead you through movements designed to improve the full-bodied aspects of walking. You will experience the interdependent relationships between the hip joints, spine, ribs, shoulder blades, and head as they respond to the impact of stepping. Every person receives individual attention and is given lessons to take home that apply to their particular needs. This work is based on Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement.

Good alignment and optimal posture is essential for preventing injuries, developing endurance and boosting the enjoyment of everyday living. When movement feels good, activity becomes a way of life. Based on the Feldenkrais Method, Bones for Life stimulates bone health through movements that bring all of your body parts into harmonious coordination. This class is not only beneficial as osteoporosis reduction, but helps everyone in any kind of weight bearing activity: walking, running, dancing and jumping.  All ages, all abilities and all movement challenges are welcome.
