FELDENKREIS FUNDRAISER

Deidre Sklar, a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and instructor, is a retired performer and professor of dance ethnology. In conjunction with the Carpinteria Women’s Club, generously offered a series of 7 classes to benefit Facing Ourselves: Carpinteria.  Students practiced “Awareness Through Movement”  lessons, a gentle skeletally-based way of moving that uses the brain’s neuroplasticity to improve function, ease and pleasure.

 Sklar’s own grandparents migrated from Russia and Poland in response to difficult living conditions and pogroms against Jewish people in the early 20th century.
