The Centre for Movement Studies presents
From Head to Foot: Re-Organize
A Feldenkrais Method workshop with
Feldenkrais Trainer
Arlyn Zones MA
Sunday 25 january 2015
(public holiday weekend)
A perfect way to begin 2015
In this 1-day workshop we will use 4 gentle and ingenious
Awareness Through Movement lessons to discover how to
re-organize the way we use ourselves from the feet upward
and from the head downward. The lessons will involve
learning how every part of us contributes to possibilities
for improvement. Participants will learn how improving
the transmission of forces through the skeleton leads
to a better sense of support, directionality and ease in
movement. Increased flexibility, comfort and better balance
and ‘posture’ are the natural by-products of good alignment
and will be experienced.
ARLYN ZONES studied acting, voice and mime and taught Movement for Actors prior to her involvement
with the Feldenkrais Method. She began studying the Feldenkrais Method® in 1977 and graduated from
Dr. Feldenkrais’ US Training Program in 1983. She became an Assistant Trainer in 1988 and a Feldenkrais
Trainer in 1994. Arlyn has taught extensively in Australia, the United States, Canada, and Europe in over 70
Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs worldwide.
Arlyn’s style of teaching is direct, humorous and very dynamic. Her students include performing
artists, infants, children, people with orthopaedic or neurological issues and anyone who
wants to improve their everyday functioning. In addition, Arlyn has taught in schools, clinics
and hospitals and has also taught courses on the application of the Feldenkrais Method for
children with special needs to Health Professionals and Feldenkrais Practitioners. She taught
for many years at Star Academy, San Anselmo, CA, a special school for children with learning
challenges, helping to establish Feldenkrais® lessons as a permanent part of the curriculum.
