What is The Feldenkrais® Method?

A system of movement education that harnesses the nervous system through gentle movement to improve one’s ability to move with specificity & ease; reduce pain & stress; support creativity & emotional well-being.

 

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Functional Integration® or FI® lesson

During a Functional Integration® or FI® lesson, I will guide you through gentle touch to explore developmental and functional movement possibilities, remembering the ease and pleasure of moving, breathing, and being. You may lie on a padded table designed for the work, or do some of the lesson sitting or standing.

First sessions are 75 minutes, and sometimes a little longer! We start with a conversation about your history and things that you would like to improve or make easier.

Office Location:
Glassell Park, Los Angeles.

Pricing:
First Visit - $110

I offer Artist rates and also do trades. If cost feels like a barrier, please contact me!

GROUP CLASSES

Awareness Through Movement® or “ATM®” Class

ATM is a group class of The Feldenkrais Method, a system of movement education that makes use of our sensory ability to notice differences and make choices to move with ease, specificity, and enjoyment. Primary is nurturing awareness and expanding self-perception through gentle movement and directed attention. Each lesson guides students through a specific set of movements, rest, and attention that slowly links together inducing movement that feels easy, light, and efficient. It's wonderful for anyone who wants to bring more freedom, coordination, or fullness to their physical practice or day to day activities. It can be incredibly helpful for anyone experiencing pain or recovery from injury.

Classes are approximately 1 hour and conducted most often from the positions of laying on mats, sitting on the floor, and sometimes standing. I infuse my lessons with my experience of somatic practice in dance, improvisational forms, and injury/pain recovery.
