Individual Sessions

A space for self-research and exploration

 

A space for self-research exploring how to use the body differently when performing the most simple daily actions, like walking or sitting, to more complex ones, like playing a musical instrument or dancing. Unfold individual sessions refine sensory appreciation, restore body-mind balance and make use of strength more effective. A series of sessions with Unfold founder Valentina Bordenave or with other Unfold teachers can bring a significant improvement in quality of life.

  • While you are in a comfortable sitting or lying position, you receive verbal instructions and subtle impulses from the teacher’s hands which help you improve your sensory appreciation and restore your body-mind balance. Then, through working with daily movement actions like sitting down, walking or lifting something, you discover and start to drop restricting habits and unnecessary effort. We can then move on to more complex or specific tasks, like playing a musical instrument, jogging, dancing or working at a desk with a computer. Starting to develop a new "use of the self", a big amount of attention is needed until after a few lessons the practice becomes easier, more integrated with your everyday activities - similar to the process of learning to drive a car: it requires a lot of attention to each step at the beginning and becomes "almost automatic" as experience increases. These sessions are a laboratory in which you carry out research on yourself. Your everyday actions like walking, cooking or talking start to become a place for experimentation and the results increase your life quality.
