Feldenkrais

Dear Friends in Christ -

Felden . . . what????

You know, in church we talk about wholeness - body, mind and spirit. Mostly we talk about spirit. Not because the other things aren't important, but because the church kind of specialized in the spirit stuff.

But I know a good opportunity when I see it - and one came to us a few weeks ago. A local physical therapist who has trained in the Feldenkrais method of movement was looking for a place to hold classes. Through a Shelton-New Orleans connection, she found us (small world!).

Feldenkrais is a therapeutic type of movement exercise that helps realign the body and get stiff joints moving. Through improved posture and body awareness, it also helps increase energy and circulation. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. Exercises are not strenuous, so people with various abilities and disabilities can participate.

If you want more information, take an information tag off of one of the parish bulletin boards, or call the parish office (929-1722). Classes will be held regularly (once a week) in the parish hall. The first class will be held on Thursday, October 25th, at 9:15.

Enjoy!
Blessings,
Janet+
