Waking up to Awareness Through Movement® as an Agent of Transformation

Broadcast on June 05, 2023
With Lavinia Plonka
Hosted by Dr. Martha Eddy, RSMT

Like the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, you are actually experiencing a universe of moving, thinking, sensing, and feeling at every moment. Or are you? Moshe Feldenkrais spoke of the importance of unifying all these parts in order to be a “real human being.” Join Lavinia Plonka as she discusses how movement can open a window to a deeper experience of the self. Can it improve your emotional life? What did Feldenkrais mean when he said, “It's not flexible bodies I'm after, but flexible brains.” 

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • How your physical, mental, and emotional centers respond to intentional movement
  • An experiential Awareness Through Movement® lesson that connects the dots between posture and emotion
  • How Awareness Through Movement® can support a deeper understanding of chakras, mythology, and more
The views expressed are specific to the author/speaker and may vary from the perspectives of The Shift Network's participants, staff, or other speakers.
