The Reason I’m Teaching “Getting To Know Yourself 101”

Feldenkrais Method, Ravi

Did you know that for the last 7 years, I’ve been working with people from all walks of life helping them navigate their unique challenges?

I thought you might like to know a bit about me and how I came to be doing the work I do.

Maybe my story will resonate with you.

My clients include individuals recovering from injuries or dealing with neurological challenges, people on the verge of getting knee or shoulder replacements, aspiring professional actors, amateur ballroom dancers, and those with bad backs or stiff necks.

I help people understand and know themselves in a way they have never experienced before.

Together, we explore ways to overcome movement and other difficulties, making simple yet significant changes in their lives that enable them to do more of what they want.

No matter the physical difficulty that spurs them to contact me, all my clients share a common desire: to do more of what they love and less of what they don’t.

It’s not that they weren’t trying. But somehow, what used to work for them no longer did. Exercises to keep the core strong, pep talks to get up and go to work in the morning—they no longer had the same effect.

Something had changed, but what?

I know the answer because I have been in the same place. There was a time when I was so disconnected from myself that I could no longer accurately sense myself or understand what was important to me.

Without knowing it, I was chasing somebody else’s dreams.

This made my life feel like a constant struggle, a daily uphill battle with no end in sight.

They say the body keeps the score. Even as I was doing well financially, I was paying a heavy price both physically and emotionally.

I kept getting injured and frequently fell ill. I felt stiff and exhausted almost all the time. I couldn’t motivate myself to do what I wanted or stop doing the things that I didn’t want to do.

In other words, I felt stuck.

Then, at this crucial juncture, I discovered the Feldenkrais Method®.

The four-year training allowed me to know myself in a completely new way, giving me options and pathways that weren’t available before. It made such a big difference for me that I made it my work.

Next time, I’ll tell you how it changed my life.
