While many Awareness Through Movement® classes put respiration front and center, usually the breath is secondary to the theme of a Functional Integration® lesson. When giving a hands-on Feldenkrais® lesson, you monitor your student’s breath — and your own — by tuning into the subtle shifts of disturbance or unease, and registering the respiratory responses that indicate improvement and integration.

But what about giving lessons that deal directly making BREATHING BETTER?

Do you know how to work with the ribs, spine, muscles of the trunk, etc. to influence the breath? To unravel the restrictions that limit respiration?

Do you understand breathing well enough to know what to observe, how to interpret it, and what to do about it?

The next trio MASTERING THE METHOD (MTM) modules is designed to help you answer these questions. You’ll delve deep into the domain of ventilation, clearing up common confusions and stubborn superstitions by applying the Feldenkraisian framework to how understanding what makes for optimal breathing. You’ll experience ATM® lessons that illuminate the FI® structures you’re learning and help you understand them from the inside out. You will also practice precise techniques, explore teaching tactics and learning logic, master fundamental FIs, and uncover the keys to helping your students speak, sing, and breathe easier.

In each BREATHING BETTER module, you’ll get to:

• Learn the ins and outs of how breathing works.
  
  
• Enhance your ability to observe breathing and know what it means.
  
  
• Develop specific hands-on skills along the self-use they require.
  
  
• Receive personal coaching and individual support.
  
  
• Expand your repertoire of lessons you can count on.

There are no prerequisites for Feldenkrais teachers or trainees in the final two years of their program to enroll. You sign up for one module, any two, or all three. After you participate in at least one module, you receive access to the video demonstrations and discussions along with the audio files of the ATMs for all three BB modules, at no extra cost whatsoever.

Are you wondering whether this postgraduate program is what you need now? If you’ll let me know your questions and concerns along with your phone number and some good times to reach you, I’ll give you a ring or send you a text.
