Here’s a treat! A workshop with guest Feldenkrais Teacher, Maggy Burrowes, offering us an opportunity to improve the internal structures that keep our senses and organs in good working order. Throughout our whole self, our sphincter muscles – also called “ring muscles” – are constantly in motion, keeping everything circulating efficiently within us. These important muscles work with our diaphragm to organize our breathing, digestion, and blood and lymph circulation. They organize many of the systems involved with our senses, including our lips, eyes, throat, and larynx, and last but not least, they organize all of our internal “plumbing.”

Our remarkable sphincter or ring muscle system is coordinated with our deeper movement patterns in unexpected and therapeutically unique ways. The special Feldenkrais lessons in this workshop will help you tune up your respiratory and digestive systems, improve the functioning of your eyes and throat, create greater freedom and ease in your vocal structures, and improve the comfort of your neck and spine.

We are delighted to host Maggy Burrowes in this 4.5-hour live online and recorded workshop, and glad you’ll have this opportunity to experience her excellent teaching and valuable perspective and expertise.

This workshop will give you the following:

New ways to improve issues related to continence
Improvements to the freedom and ease of your breathing
Better organization of your tongue and the potential to improve your swallowing
Increased awareness and ease in your facial muscles, particularly around the eyes and mouth
Improved awareness of, and access to the vocal structures within your larynx
Improved breathing and digestion

“Thanks for yesterday’s class! Exploring the relationships between the anal and urethral sphincters and the action of flexion and extension was super interesting. I have much to discover around the interconnectedness and internal rhythms of organs and sphincters.”

A first Experience Of Feldenkrais

I did not know what to expect from, or after the first Feldenkrais workshop I attended. I found the sequences gentle and relaxing. It was liberating and exhilarating to feel different parts of my head, neck and shoulders moving independently – as they did so there was a sense that they were strengthening. During the course I learnt that these gentle movement lessons could heal pain experienced in the body. I was, at the time, experiencing discomfort in my knees when going downstairs. I was also experiencing pain in my right shoulder which had begun approximately three weeks before the workshop.

The day after I was completely free of pain, both in my shoulder and my knees. I walked downstairs in a way which would be considered usual as a way of descending stairs. I had not descended stairs in this way for approximately three years. I had either relied heavily on the handrail for support, or taken the steps one at a time – how wonderful it was to be pain free.

Embodied Voice – an attendee’s experience…

“Thanks very much for your wonderful voice course. I am still working through the material and have a much larger range at each end of the scale. It was really interesting to have speech contextualised into its effect on laryngeal movement and brought me a new awareness in that area and a sense of how voice production affects the diaphragm and its attachments to the spine, rather than just the other way round.

The untrammelled, quite deep (for me) voice that your workshop gave me at the end was gratifying but it changed into something different later. Your workshop also changed my listening. Yes it it true that I still sing out of tune (I can hear it now) but I had an experience towards the end of your workshop – I stepped out of the passageway from the studio into the street and all the cars and trucks and drills and birdsong were a symphony! It was so weird – I never usually listen much let alone savour such sounds and I certainly never realised they were all at different pitches. I must stress that I am not musical and this was not my usual perception of the world.
