Dear Students:
After class, a student asked me why she should take the “Dancing Downward Dog Workshop” on Saturday, March 14th, as she didn’t want to do this popular yoga pose for two hours.
I explained that like any other of my Feldenkrias workshops, during this one we will explore many different movement progressions that may lead to a downward dog stance. In a nutshell, I believe students may feel more like, a baby building bone & muscle strength than a yoga student, during the lessons I plan to teach.
Think about how long it takes an infant to be able to push her toes & palms into the floor before being able to slither on her belly. As a babe gets stronger from these actions, coming up onto “all 4‘s” for crawling becomes possible. Consequently, she becomes capable of creeping with her pelvis high above her head, on hands & feet. This ultimately prepares the toddler for climbing up to standing and then to walking.
Inquisitive adults that bear weight through their arms & legs in this way, can increase the flexibility in their ankles, wrists and upper back, very quickly. 
Loss of suppleness in these areas are mainly caused by non-use and not because of age, for most people.
Fortunately the plasticity of the human brain is extraordinary and the “Dancing Downward Dog Workshop” can be a new beginning or a refresher for you to maneuver yourself in ways you were designed for. Past students commented that after dancing into and out of this “developmental movement”, they developed a new found appreciation for it.
