We maintain our equilibrium - from one moment to the next - by keeping our center of mass over our base of support via the physiological action of spontaneous oppositional movement. As one part of ourselves moves forward, another part moves backward. This dynamic is so crucial to healthy, well-organized movement that when our counterbalancing mechanisms are inhibited, stress is placed on the musculature, and comfort and ease of movement are compromised. 

This program presents the principle of oppositional movement in different orientations than the first Principle of Oppositional Movement workshop. Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration will be used to evoke the re-organizing effect of oppositional movement and is considered a follow-up to that workshop. Regain access to  your own endowment of counterbalance within action and learn how to use the same principles to increase the potency of their Functional Integration lessons.

“…good coordination demands that the movement of the limbs in one direction will be balanced by a part that goes in the opposite direction. The part that goes opposite is heavier, larger.

The movement is smaller and almost not seen by the eye.”

– Moshe Feldenkrais
