The Workplace
reducing stress, optimizing performance
Move your most valuable asset to a higher level.
When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.
Herophilus, Greek Physician
Health affects everything we do and how we feel...including the personal satisfaction and happiness we get from our professional lives. We spend a major portion of our lives at work, allowing numerous issues to develop from poor habits and chronic stress in the workplace. Feldenkrais® work facilitates peak performance through our careers by improving the physical awareness of health, movement, and response to stress essential for a more sustainable and productive career.
Feldenkrais learning educates body and mind, increasing productivity and optimizing performance while reducing issues related to poor physical habits and stress. Finding ways to better utilize the body physically results in more efficient use of energy and brain function, allowing you to take action and think under pressure.
Increase High-Performance Potential
Top performers need top-performing bodies. Research proves that when you work to integrate healthy practices into your life, creativity and productivity are enhanced. Rather than allow pain and physical discomfort to compromise performance, developing awareness of your habits, and how you move, breathe, and act throughout your day allows you to utilize your body in ways that enhance performance and productivity.
The Feldenkrais exercises are ingenious.

Prevent Physical Issues
Sitting at a desk, working an assembly line, standing in place, driving, or talking on the phone...all these things put you at risk for repetitive stress injuries. Any frequently performed activity can lead to pain, stiffness, and compromising physical limitations over time. Prolonged isolation of muscle groups to perform a specific task leaves the rest of the body immobile, causing most repetitive stress injuries.
Handle Your Reaction to Stress
Learning how to mediate physical response to stress allows your body to address the situation more effectively and to recover more quickly afterwards. It's easy for our bodily patterns and contractions to go unnoticed in the heat of the moment, but remain long after the situation has passed. Feldenkrais helps you become aware of these patterns and contractions, enabling you to relax the affected areas and avoid having pain become part of the problem. Feldenkrais practice keeps stress from becoming an ingrained way of being.
