Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.

 

 - Moshe Feldenkrais

 

The Feldenkrais Method provides a way of deepening our awareness of our own bodies. The technique offers a method for letting go of inefficient or painful ways of using our bodies and learning to move easily and effortlessly.

​

I work with people one to one to guide you through an Awareness Through Movement lesson tailored to your particular physical needs and aims. We work on the floor or on a table, depending on the issue. The lessons are holistic, they consider how your body moves as a whole and how tension or relaxation in one area affects the whole body.

 

The lessons are also about supporting you to find a new inner sense of ease in your body. In today’s world we are often encouraged to push harder, go faster, and exert a tremendous amount of effort to move through the day. This can lead to unnecessary physical tension. 

 

We develop a sense of playfulness and curiousity to letting go of unnecessary physical tension to give you a break from working so hard and learning some tools to move through the day with more ease.

​

Benefits of individual lessons include:

• individual lessons tailored to your unique situation: your body and your own goals

• physical touch from the practitioner serves to give you another form of feedback and improve your proprioception (ability to sense your body and how it moves)

• support for your learning process: how to slow down and be more patient and friendly with yourself

• opportunity to discuss what is happening and ask questions
