Do your eyes feel tired and strained?Are you experiencing headaches or tension in your head and neck?Would you like to learn how to counteract the effects of spending more time looking at your computer?Join Fritha and Sarah for a Feldenkrais® workshop exploring the relationship of the eyes to the movement of the whole self, and the importance of relaxing the eyes to improve function.Calming the eyes helps calm the whole self during stressful times, so lessons focusing on the eyes can be beneficial for anyone needing support to feel more relaxed, connected and grounded.Additionally, for those of you spending more time online, here’s an easeful way to care for the eyes, and an opportunity for anyone with increased screen time to learn strategies to rest their eyes. When we look at a 2-dimensional screen we do not use our peripheral vision, which has so many implications for functioning of the eyes as well as how we relate to the environment around us.If you’re curious – join us!Workshop will include exploration of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons and will include time for discussion and questions. No experience necessary – all are welcome!
