WALK LIGHTLY

Sat 2nd March / 1400-16:00 / Community Room, Ouse Lea, York, YO30 6SA

A 2-hour in-person workshop in York to sample the Feldenkrais Method

Soften your footsteps and refresh your walk.

We lie down, go slow and gentle. Feel how you move from the inside out. Play with novel walking patterns. Stand up, feel lighter, softer.
