My journey with movement.
I love movement and I love learning about movement. As a dancer of 18 years, I was first introduced to Feldenkrais. It blew me away with how the simple instructions given transformed painful movement into pain free movement. And the bonus was how relaxed I felt after each class and especially in the one-to-one sessions called FI (Function Integration).
I am now 57 and decided to train in the four-year Feldenkrais teacher training.
What Is the Feldenkrais Method?
The Feldenkrais method or therapy, developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, is the application of a gentle mindful movement based on principles of connecting motor development and psychological awareness.
Learning either in a group classes or individual FI session the focus is on enabling students to reconnect movement to sensory awareness. This means I will draw your attention to what you are feeling, how you are feeling, and where you are feeling.
A different approach to movement.
With your attention on how you are moving rather than what you are achieving the focus in Feldenkrais is about self-education, relaxation and breathing. Don’t expect to sweat in Feldenkrais or reach the burn. For Feldenkrais the movements are about discovering how you move at a steady easy pace whatever your fitness level.
What to Expect in a Session
In class and in the hands-on FI (one to one sessions) you will learn through attainable movements to steadily re-educate neural pathways for easier more efficient movement. In the private one to one session, my guiding touch gently moves joints, bones and connective tissues to co-ordinate or integrate the parts of the body into a whole bodily movement for smoother functional motion.
What is the difference between
Feldenkrais movement and yoga?
While Traditional Iyengar Yoga focuses on personal development and mastery of more complex asanas, Feldenkrais and my combination of both Feldenkrais and simple Yoga prioritize self-awareness and gentle movement, making it an excellent choice for novices or people with physical restrictions.
Feldenkrais can help you move more freely and with less pain, improve flexibility and balance, ease stress and fatigue, and improve posture. It can be helpful if you have: Acute or chronic back, neck, muscle or joint pain. Arthritis. Including neurological and other medical issues.

What is Hypopressives
Established in Spain over 30 years ago by Dr Marcel Caufriez, Hypopressives is a whole body training approach using breathing and postural techniques to create positive changes in the core, pelvic floor, your posture and mental health. Hypopressives was originally used in a clinical setting to support patients with pelvic floor disorders. A popular method across Europe, it has now been developed into a full body system of training and is suitable for a wider audience.
