Feldenkrais  
 

Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® classes are a unique opportunity to transform habitual ways of being that are causing you pain and stress. Pain, in both body and mind, is often caused by habits that we have become blind to. You will discover how to move with ease, fluidity, flexibility and strength. This opens the way for transformation of your day to day functioning towards greater vitality and well-being. Qualities that people describe experiencing in the lessons are lightness, stability, flexibility, integration, expansion, grace and a profound sense of resting within themselves.

Benefits of these classes include:


- prevention and rehabilitation of injuries
- pain reduction
- increased flexibility, coordination and mobility
- improved breathing
- sounder sleep
- reduced stress and anxiety
- feeling at home in your body
- greater self-confidence
- skill refinement for athletes, musicians, martial artists, dancers and actors
- increased comfort in pregnancy and postpartum
- widened capacity for sensing and being with feelings and emotions
- a sense of pleasure in the body

Lessons are akin to physical riddles that each person must solve at their own pace and in their own way. Because of this, they are suitable for all levels of health and fitness.

Come and delight in discovering something new within yourself! Individual lessons, called Functional Integration®, are gentle and highly effective. Through touch, movement, and sometimes verbal process we listen to the voice of your body. Patterns are brought into awareness and this begins a process of learning and healing. My role is to provide you with the means for finding within yourself your own capacity to live in comfort, ease, pleasure and grace. Individual lessons are very good for acute pain and complex situations including trauma, neurological dysfunction such as stroke, Cerebral Palsy, MS, and developmental challenges in children and infants.
