 The BHC summer Feldenkrais series, Awareness in the Sanctuary, modified for the summer of Covid-19, is in its third year.  Awareness Through Movement® is Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais’ life work and gift to humanity.  The practice is a form of body-based meditation of simple, small, and extreme low-impact movements bring students’ attention to habitual movement, while giving the nervous system clues to finding easier, more comfortable alternatives.  Students find that they walk taller, often forgetting old pains and habits.
