About the Workshop

educate and delight yourelf
If your brain map informs your nervous system, the Chakras are a map of your energy system. Since each Chakra governs specific functions and emotions, Awareness Through Movement® lessons perfectly inform and support the study of both.
Lavinia has researched the correspondences between the chakra system, the nervous system and Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lessons for years. Lavinia debuted this workshop last year and the response was so positive, she is expanding it and hoping you’ll join this deep and delightful somatic dive.
Whether you have studied the chakras, appreciate their metaphor, or have no experience, you will benefit from exploring this energy system alongside Awareness Through Movement® lessons. Each day will include opportunities for self- discovery as we navigate the brain and body along with this ancient system of study.

Friday 2/4/22: The seventh chakra is your highest self, opening the door to the universe. We will learn how to be truly open and aligned: our legs feel the power, our gut feels the conviction, our hearts feel the delight and our heads will know it’s right. Then we will bring it all together in a group activity.
