Prisca Winslow Bradley has spent her life studying movement. Initially a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer she began a four year training program in The Feldenkrais Method in 1987 and is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner(SM) and Assistant Trainer in Feldenkrais Teacher Training Programs. She has a private Functional Integration practice in Taos, NM where she also teaches Awareness Through Movement workshops for the general public, athletes, dancers and dance teachers. Prisca holds a particular interest of integrating awareness of healthy functional movement into dance training and other movement arts. The Feldenkrais Method is a deeply profound way of learning about yourself through the use of movement. Developed over a period of 40 years by Physicist, Engineer, Judo Master and Educator, Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. (1904-1984), it is presented in two modalities. Both individual hands-on Functional Integration lessons and Awareness Through Movement group classes access the innate intelligence of our Central Nervous System and it's brilliant capacity for self-correction and infinite improvement. Feldenkrais practitioners are trained to bring awareness to what you are actually doing and gently guide you to expand your repertoire of movements, both subtle and dramatic so you may discover the most appropriate coordinated action for any given moment. Breathing, turning, jumping, responding to others, learning a new skill, refining skills you have done for years...any action imaginable can be improved. Developing awareness of what we are actually doing, and learning to do what we want rather than automatically responding in our habitual ways opens us to fuller, more comfortable, productive lives.
