What to expect?

The classes last about an hour, during which you are led verbally through a series of movements in lying or sitting positions. The movements are most often very gentle and slow, although over time, you may be introduced to more dynamic movements. Importantly, you will become aware of how different parts of you are involved in the movements, perhaps noticing when you’re using unnecessary effort or tension. You will be encouraged to find easier, more effortless ways of moving, so that you move in ways that are elegant, efficient, and even pleasurable. This is not a no-pain no-gain type of activity – in fact, we could say it is post-ambitious!

Through these sessions, you will probably feel deeply relaxed, more at ease in yourself, and you may notice a fluidity, freedom and ease in your breath, your movements, and a sense of your whole self. Feldenkrais not only encourages flexible bodies, but also flexible, creative, and spontaneous minds. The classes are for everyone, whether you’ve practiced Feldenkrais before or not. They can be helpful if you experience discomfort in your life, through injury, migraine, neurological disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, stroke, results of injury or childbirth, chronic pain, somatic aspects of emotional trauma. They can also be deeply beneficial for anyone who wants to become more at ease and self-aware. Practicing Feldenkrais can improve proficiency in activities including dance, theatre, yoga, surfing, running – and more. All you need is to turn up in loose clothes with enough layers to keep warm. Mats and blankets are available at the studio
