Private Lesson
This is a one-on-one, hands-on session, tailored to your needs. The practitioner uses gentle, non-invasive touch to guide your body through movement. It’s fully clothed, collaborative, and often deeply relaxing—like a conversation through movement.
Many students notice improved coordination, reduced strain, and a greater sense of ease in everyday activities following individual work.
Group Classes
Done mostly lying down on a mat. Students follow verbal instructions that guide them through a sequence of gentle, structured movements with many variations. The aim is to sense how easy or difficult each option feels. By the end of the lesson, a once difficult movement often becomes much easier.
Classes are intentionally kept small so we can closely observe what each student is doing. This allows the guidance to be adjusted in real time, meeting students where they are and ensuring they receive meaningful benefit from every class.

Is There Really No “Right” Way To Move?

After my last email, “What is the Feldenkrais Method, Anyway?”, I received a thoughtful reply from a reader who had taken my recent series on getting to know your hip joints. She wrote: “Awareness is important. But it is not enough. Smokers are aware of the dangers of...

How is this different from other therapies?
Unlike traditional exercise or therapy, the Feldenkrais Method focuses on learning how you move rather than strengthening or stretching muscles. It works with your nervous system to create new, more efficient movement patterns—often leading to lasting changes without strain or effort.
Is this safe after an injury or surgery?
Definitely. The Feldenkrais Method is gentle and adaptable. It meets you where you are, helping you rebuild movement patterns without pushing through pain. Many people use it to support healing and regain confidence after injury, illness, or surgery.
