Morning Class Series: Paul Lee - Feldenkrais Lessons

2016.11.24 - 12.8

 

Morning Class Series: Paul Lee - Feldenkrais Lessons (Nov-Dec)



The Feldenkrais Method® helps us develop a deeper self-image through gentle movement explorations where we find freedom within certain constraints. We learn to give up patterns of tension that restrict us. As a scientific method to heal and refine the human body, it already attracted great number of followers and researchers from America, Europe and Australasia since 1950s, yet still new to HK citizens. This course is open to dancers, actors, and ALL people!
