¡Hola! It seems like you're looking for a Feldenkrais® experience that is both body-focused and relaxing, with 10-minute lessons tailored to various needs. You're interested in the gentle approach of Sarah's Awareness Through Movement® lessons, specifically those that are suitable for elderly individuals or performers like singers and actors who want to relax their jaw, improve breathing, or enhance performance.
