What is Feldenkrais?

The Feldenkrais Method® helps you to change your unconscious movement patterns so you can move with more ease, confidence and lightness. Everyone can participate in a Feldenkrais lesson. Each lesson is structured to create the ideal conditions for learning by using small, gentle movements that restore function and an overall sense of well-being.

Awareness through Movement® (ATM) and Functional Integration® (FI) are both processes of The Feldenkrais Method. In ATM the students follow the teacher’s verbal cues. FI is a one-on-one personalized movement lesson in which the teacher gently guides the student by using verbal cues, as well as gentle non-invasive touch.

“Nothing is permanent about our behavior patterns except our belief that they are so.”

— Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

As an ATM teacher, I delight in your ability to find movement solutions that translate into a sense of freedom and greater capacity in all aspects of your life. As with coaching, I hold my Feldenkrais students as creative, resourceful and whole. And like coaching, I simply guide. The fruits of your efforts belong to you.

I’ve been a student of the Feldenkrais Method since 1982, and a teacher since 2011. I am certified by the Feldenkrais Guild of North America.

For me, doing Feldenkrais feels like coming home. For my students…
