Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
“The more ways you have to do the things you do, the freer is your choice.” Moshe Feldenkrais
Life is sweet and rich, when you have freedom to meet your world with versatility, ease, and of course, style! These classes open your options - in ways that may totally surprise you. Who knew!!

Do you have a group of 4 or more people, interested in a specific focus? Perhaps:
- For a specific sport?
- For a specific topic? (e.g. ease and strength for your back, or for your hips, or...)
Let's chat! We can create and design a workshop, class, or series of classes specific to your group.
More freedom, ease and strength - for all of you!
Listen to the intelligence of your own body, to guide what suits you.
Feldenkrais sessions and classes are all about learning. And learning only happens well, when you feel safe. We will tap into what Dr. Stephen Porges (the PolyVagal Theory guy) calls "The Transformative Power of Feeling Safe".
Your bones are built to support weight, and transfer force. What muscles do best is: line up the bones. :-) When muscles try to do what bones can do better, muscles get tired, sore - and cranky! So - let's check - could your bones do more, and does that make your muscles happier?
If a place within you feels like it is doing too much - it probably is! We will explore how to spread out the work, over long pathways through your body, so that each place can do its fair share, and no one place does "too much". Ahhhh yes - THAT feels better!
As you explore, you will be invited to notice: is this different from what you did before? Does it feel safe? Do you like it? Does it work well, for YOU? Bringing awareness to what you notice helps to "make it real", and helps new experiences to land and settle in much better and faster.
Humans learn, and change. This learning and changing can happen at any age! In the Feldenkrais classes and session, we focus on MOVEMENT as the doorway to discovery. So that you can Open Your World to more freedom and choice, more ease, more strength, more fun. Yes!
