“Anything that is learned is learned slowly, without pushing. Anything you know well is like this. Everything you learned under duress, forcing, through pain, or with effort to succeed are things you forget. You never do them with pleasure and is worth nothing.”
Moshe Feldenkrais
Classes & Workshops
Group classes: Awareness through Movement®
Students are guided through novel, gentle, movement variations using gravity, breath, and the imagination. These investigative lessons foster self-discovery, ease, articulation, and coordination of movement. They provide time and space for new or dormant pathways of awareness to emerge. After a lesson people frequently feel they breathe more easily and are walking or standing more comfortably. Students often discover a new ability or sensation that they can continue to learn and grow from.
Classes are excellent for those with restricted movement.
Lessons usually take place lying on the floor but many incorporate sitting, kneeling, rolling, and standing depending on the group’s needs and comfort.
Participants dress in comfortable clothing with no belts or big jewelry.

Shining a light on our relationship with the ground creates ease and elegance in our movement. As we age, many of us begin to shrink not only in our range of motion but also in our perception of ourselves and our movement potential. In this workshop, we will slow down and illuminate the details where sensory learning unfolds, encouraging more spring in our step and more movement capacity.
