Join an Awareness Through Movement class - Mondays and Thursdays
Flow invites you to experience a new version of you.
Awareness Through Movement teacher David Michael Wolff will guide you to a fuller realization of your potential to move with greater ease, grace and skill. Slow, small, easy movements made with awareness tap into your brain’s neuroplasticity - its ability to learn and create new patterns, at any age.
David’s current students range in age from seven through 90!
Discover the transformative power of moving with awareness, and upgrade your system in 2025!
Location: The idyllic Flow University (35 Dowd Circle, Pinehurst, 28374), near Pinehurst Post Office.
What to bring/what to wear: Just bring yourself in comfortable clothing. Large yoga mats are provided. Most lessons involve lying down on the mats, and some also in chairs or standing.
Time: Ongoing weekly classes on Mondays at 3pm, and Thursdays at 9:30am through May 15. (Classes will resume in the Summer.)
Cost: Packages of five consecutive weekly classes are only $50.

Class size is limited to eight - we will confirm your registration by email.
About the Teacher
David Michael Wolff, Principal Conductor of The Carolina Philharmonic, is a certified Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement teacher. His personal experience with carpal tunnel in both hands led to a loss of ability to perform on the piano. The transformative effects of Awareness Through Movement restored him to full use of his hands and arms. Subsequently he dedicated himself to helping others achieve recovery and optimization through the power of neuroplasticity - the brain and the body’s ability to change, learn and heal itself.
Discover the Power of Movement and Learning
At Flow University, we blend the transformative power of somatic practices with our unique educational philosophy. Our approach is designed to enhance academic growth by simultaneously improving neuromuscular patterns, making it ideal for a wide range of individuals.
Our Vision: To create a space where learning meets physical well-being, cultivating a community that values physical harmony, mental clarity and emotional balance.
Understanding Somatic Learning
Somatic learning is an innovative approach to education that focuses on the body as well as the mind. It involves learning through physical movement, heightening body awareness, and engaging the senses. This method helps individuals connect more deeply with their physical selves, leading to improved mental agility, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. At Flow University, somatic learning is not just about movement; it’s about integrating these movements with cognitive processes to create an empowered holistic learning experience.
The Power of Neuroplasticity in Learning
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt. It's the foundation of learning and development throughout our lives. In the context of somatic learning, neuroplasticity plays a crucial role. When we learn through movement, we create new neural pathways and reinforce existing ones, enhancing our ability to learn, think, and adapt. This process is central to our approach at Flow University, where we leverage the power of neuroplasticity through movement to optimize learning, improve mobility, and elevate overall cognitive function.
Somatic Learning for All
What you will experience:
Enhanced Mobility: Engage in gentle movement lessons that rewire neuromuscular patterns for optimized movement and ease, thereby enhancing self-esteem and well-being.
Mind-Body Connection: Experience the profound synergy between physical well-being and mental growth.
Accessible to Everyone: Whether you’re a performing artist, educator, healthcare professional, athlete, or someone looking to improve your physical and mental well-being, particularly as you age, recover from surgery or illness, or mediate pain, our specialized movement programs are tailored to offer you a path to improved well-being and a more balanced life.
