Mindfulness, often looked yo improve our attention, starts in the body. The Feldenkrais Method taps into this skill by using gentle, slow and mindful movement to enhance self-awareness. This helps direct attention to our body’s movement and sensations to act as ‘mindfulness in motion’ and be less hijacked from our habits.
