Dorothy Henning, originally from Louisville, is a Feldenkrais practitioner who now lives and practices at the Henning Institut du Mouvement, in Strasbourg, France. Let her guide you in learning how the pelvic floor plays an integral role in so many of the functions of the body. The four-session series helps you increase your awareness and enhance your well-being through the healthy and comfortable functioning of the pelvic floor.
Recent studies have shown that working with the muscles of the pelvic floor can improve functioning in many ways~
A part of the body you seldom give much thought to until you experience problems such as incontinence or lower back pain, the pelvic floor is involved in digestion, elimination, reproduction, breathing and balance. Even if you don't have an issue related to the pelvic floor, understanding its role and encouraging healthy function can contribute to your overall well-being.
The Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education uses easy-to-do gentle exercises to increase your awareness and find strength. Since the movements of the pelvic floor are subtle, we begin with full-body movement instead of isolating the pelvic floor. This way of learning is very effective and anyone can do it.
The workshop is for every woman, active or non-active, young or old. You don't need any previous experience with the Feldenkrais Method to benefit. Each session is spaced with a one-week interval to allow time for assimilation of information and to practice the exercises learned in class.
