What Is Floor Movement?
Floor Movement is a form of guided bodywork and somatic education that takes place primarily on the floor.It mixes the elements of Feldenkai, developmental movement pattern and mindful mobility work. Practiced with gravity and support of a flat surface, this modality allows participants to find out how their body moves and organizes themselves without unnecessary stress.
Instead of trying to try or "work out", the floor movement invites curiosity, tenderness and investigation. It unknowingly helps individuals to the habits of restrictive movement and develop new patterns of ease and efficiency.
