Testimonials

"My back needed loosening and straightening so I went for a few Functional Integration lessons with Nikhila. The day after my last session I had to alter the mirror in my car to move it upwards to my new height. Yesterday, I had to go to the dentist - I found it such a better experience as I could sit in the chair comfortably. My head no longer feels as if it is coming off when I have to lie flat. I can also now lie on the floor without any books and am delighted. Thank you so much for your help. It is hard to describe to anyone else how Feldenkrais works as the movements in the session feel so small compared to the results., JC".

 

"After weeks of stiff neck and shoulder pain I decided to try a 1 - 1 session by Zoom with Nikhila. I used to think the effect of 1 - 1 was all in Nikhila's hands which of course is partly true but I realise now that’s not the full story, it’s in something beyond the hands. My neck has released and the shoulder pain almost completely gone. As Nikhila guided me in tiny movements which were targeting the deeper layers of my problem I experienced not only the stiff joints and muscles relaxing but also the underlying emotional tensions releasing that had caused the problem in the first place. She guided me to work on how I was holding jaw, breath, even my tongue stiff as well as working directly on spine and neck/shoulders. I'm so grateful that it’s possible to continue sessions with Nikhila 1 - 1 in this period by Zoom as the world situation seems to amplify body tension so being able to have my own personal mind-body patterns disentangled week by week now is a more precious gift than ever!" E.F.

 

"I am finding the work deeply interesting on all levels - physical, emotional and mental. And, very relaxing. I experience Feldenkrais as a way of 'moving beyond', of 'unlimiting the limited self' - Exploring my mind body connections at the gentle pace of weekly classes I find that the lessons continue a path of mindfulness that I trust.  My nervous system has learned to relax and let me take risks.  The ground becomes safe.
