“As a professional dancer for many years, we are often expected to perform the most intricate movements. I love Solvents and Glue because it is an opportunity to slow down, listen, and play with the simple, limitless possibilities in the body. The most important element is that it is upright, with gravity, so my muscles kick in, and so it’s immediately applicable in my life. I sense my hypermobility and can choose, through exploration, alternatives that help me feel stronger, taller, efficient, relaxed, and free.”
“…S&G has helped me evaluate the movement in my joints and muscles–where am I stuck, where can I distribute the forces better, what’s unlikely to change, what can I do to compensate. The Feldenkrais approach was essential for me, but the focus on anatomy, physical therapy and all the other disciplines which have been integrated into the lessons is what has made this series extremely useful. It’s been sort of a Feldenkrais-on-steroids experience!…”
JKA: Solvents and Glue®– What is it?
JKA Solvents and Glue is a movement system created and developed by Jeremy Krauss.
It is an ingenious, new and unique series of extraordinarily effective movement lessons that support feelings of:
• stability • mobility • solidity • strength
• clarity• connection • confidence
• balance • upright • stamina • vitality
Solvents and Glue is a series of lessons for strengthening, solidifying, and exceptional toning through an enormous variety of precise movements that bring structural clarity to major joints of the body.
The sequences are invigorating to the musculoskeletal system. They are a fitting complement to Feldenkrais, Yoga, Pilates, and any other physical exercise, sport, or wellness practice.
You will learn the following:
- ways to gain strength and stamina in your legs and upper body
- clear directions for alignment of your knees, ankles, and hips joints
- to bring more solidity to muscles in your upper thighs
- clarify the connection of your ankles, buttocks, and diaphragm
- strengthen your upper back
- find new and creative ways to develop useful flexibility and strength in being upright
Who may benefit?
These classes are for you if:
- You practice the Feldenkrais® method and notice there are parts of your body where you need to let go and “dissolve” tension. There may be other places where you could use more solidity, strength, or “glue.”
- You have regular exercise practice like Pilates, Yoga, running, brisk walking, or others and want to improve the clarity and control of your body, making it easier to find the forms and movements without strain or risk of injuries.
- You are recovering from an injury in your musculoskeletal system and transitioning to an independent exercise program.
- You are managing a chronic condition affecting the way you move.
- You are looking for a way to incorporate more strengthening and balance exercises into your wellness routine, and going to the GYM is not your cup of tea.
The movements in this program are arranged in a carefully developed sequence. They are done upright and build on each other engagingly and creatively. Occasionally we will use sitting and lying down positions as well.
