Denise Deig, MSPT, GCFP, BFLT/T

Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner
Bones for Life Trainer

Created by Ruthy Alon, Bones for Life® (BFL) is the next generation of somatic learning, inspired from the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais. BFL includes 90 processes designed to promote optimal health and well being through skeletal alignment, anti-gravity challenges, weight bearing and transmission of forces through the arms, legs, spine, trunk, and pelvis.

 

A more active and interactive group experience is possible with BFL, as we combine the organizational changes inherent in motor learning with more directed movement processes in the upright posture. The integration of these specific neuromuscular shifts into locomotor activities lends to a more consistent carry over of results into daily life

The entire Bones for Life® program consists of 90 movement processes. These safe, weight-bearing movements challenge bones to be strong and sturdy while improving balance and coordination.


In this workshop, we will:

  • Learn the 90 movement processes.
  • Organize transmission of force through the skeleton in a "domino-like" trajectory.
  • Train coordination for pushing, pulling and moving against controlled resistance while maintaining alignment.
  • Develop the dynamic, springy pressure needed for stimulating bone strength.
  • Encourage uprightness through gradually increased challenge in both position and activity.
  • Learn better bio-mechanics and self care leading to less stress, injury and burn-out caused by working with others all day.
  • Discover patterns of movement enabling you to see your patients/clients challenges in a new light.
  • Movement processes can be taught to patients/clients in private sessions or in group classes to empower them in their own healing process.
