Taking a Stand

Happy March,

As we spring ahead and the political environment grabs our attention, I hope this newsletter finds you well. How are you navigating these changes? Personally, I find solace in leaning into my practices and connecting with my support circles to calm my nerves during these chaotic times.

Together, in community, we have the power to make a meaningful difference. I know many are finding ways to take a stand for what is important in their lives. I invite you to embody the essence of "biological optimism," a description coined by Feldenkrais® trainer Ruthy Alon. Imagine moving with ease and power, feeling the strength of your bones, and standing up confidently for yourself and what has heart and meaning for you.

My goal is to create opportunities for you to experience this type of hopeful aliveness as you move and grow. To facilitate this practice, I am excited to offer my ongoing Tuesday 8am Awareness Through Movement® (ATM®) online class (register here), along with two new series. The new 4-week online Everyday Ease packages include both group classes and one private session. Join me and take a new step on your path to enhanced well-being.

Mondays On Zoom

4- 5pm PT, March 10, 17, 24, 31 OR

Wednesdays Hybrid - taught on Zoom and in my North Seattle office

5:30 - 6:30pm PT, March 12, 19, 26 & April 2

I’m excited to share that the March classes are designed to enhance the ease, efficiency, and sustainability of transitioning from sitting to standing—a movement we perform countless times each day! By participating in this series, you'll experience immediate benefits in your daily life and invest in your future mobility.

Looking ahead to April, we will focus on the important skill of getting to and from the floor, empowering you to build confidence in your movements. If you’ve found yourself avoiding the floor, rest assured that the classes will be tailored to your individual pace and comfort level.

You are invited to schedule your private session at any time before, during, or after the 4-week series, ensuring a personalized approach to your journey. Let's embrace the joy of movement together and continue to develop sustainable habits.

Everyday Ease in Transitioning to/from Sitting to Standing

Many of us find ourselves sitting for extended periods, often leading to discomfort and stiffness. Every moment, even the simple act of sitting down or standing up, can be transformed into a graceful and effortless movement.

Join us for this series of Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes on Mondays or Wednesdays and learn techniques to enhance your comfort and ease.

The Wednesday sessions, offered in a hybrid format—allows for five local participants to experience the class in-person. I invite you to reserve your spot today and take your next step towards comfort.

Next Step - Everyday Ease in Standing from the Floor

It's a common experience for many to find getting up and down from the ground increasingly challenging as time goes on, often leading to a reluctance to engage in this essential movement. I truly understand and empathize with this struggle and am here to help you discover a safe and effective method to lower yourself to the ground and rise back up with confidence. This practice not only enhances your physical strength but also supports your cognitive function and overall well-being, fostering a greater sense of independence and comfort in your daily life.

If you have any questions or concerns before registering, I encourage you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation here.

Next Step - Schedule a Discounted Private Session

Each participant in the Everyday Ease in Standing Series is invited to enhance their experience with a discounted one-hour private Feldenkrais Functional Integration® (FI®) session with LeeAnn Starovasnik, GCFP.

This opportunity allows you to schedule your personalized session at your convenience, whether it’s before, during, or within 30 days after the end of the series. You can choose the comfort of your own home with a Zoom session or enjoy a face-to-face meeting in LeeAnn's welcoming North Seattle office. This customized session is designed to foster your personal growth in your movement practice, increasing your sense of biologicial optimism.
