Feldenkrais for Gardeners - 8 week class
Wednesdays 5-6, July 12-Aug 30
Gardening can be as rejuvenating as hiking, biking, dancing or anything else one does purely for fun.
Gardening offers neurological enrichment way beyond that of classic sports like running, skiing and lifting weights.
With Feldenkrais awareness:
* Gardeners can develop a stronger, healthier, more agile, connected, playful and grounded body.
* We are brought back to our biological inheritance — childlike exploration, pleasure & joy of movement.
* Improve coordination, balance, and athleticism for every kind of physical activity.
* Learn easier standing, squatting, getting up and down, reaching, crouching, shoveling and bending.
End your gardening time feeling energized, nourished and revitalized rather than tired, sore, or injured.
Kevin: A professional gardener came to see me for a back injury two years ago. In our session I showed her how to garden in a way that cultivated ongoing improvement in spinal power and agility.
Two weeks later she brought me halibut and homemade bread and reported, “I feel so good I keep wanting to push harder... I love having my back feel so strong."
I ran into her again last weekend and she said her back is better than it’s ever been.
In this series I will teach the same movement lesson I taught her... and other lessons that can be equally empowering and re-vitalizing.
Full 8 week series - $155
Early Bird - $145 ( first six sign-ups)
Drop-in - $23

Ukulele for Everybody
Sundays 6:30 - 7:45 PM
July 23- Aug. 27 (Open Space signups please note date range correction)
The ukulele is simple to play, easy to take traveling and camping, and cheerful sounding.
This versatile instrument is enough to relax with alone or carry to a singalong. Some folks perform with just an ukulele and win hearts all over the world.
Ukulele is also a great preparation for learning guitar, which uses the same chord shapes and strumming patterns.
IN THIS CLASS YOU’LL LEARN:
* chords, strumming & picking styles
* popular songs
* how to play socially, with friends, around the campfire, with other instruments, even in bands
* basic music theory, and how to play by ear
* improvising & exploring creatively
* how to find musical friendships and jamming opportunities
* how to use free online music resources
All ukuleles welcome: soprano, concert, tenor, baritone, bass
Guitars are also welcome! — bring a capo! … when capoed at the 5th fret guitars are essentially 6 string ukuleles (same tuning, same chord shapes, same pitch)
Full six week series - $155
Early bird - $135 (first six sign-ups)
