Each lesson is individually tailored and
typically
revolves around discovering your unique patterns in movement.
Some of these patterns are effective and help you, on the other hand
others could be actually
contributing to your problem or situation. The larger part of the
lesson is non-verbal. Gentle, non-invasive touch helps
both client and practitioner explore together, to
guide, support, encourage and help the discovery or
uncovering of, new healthier and more effective movement habits and
patterns...
The session is carried out on a wide, low table.

Most people find sessions somewhere between extremely relaxing at the
least, to completely life-changing at the best.
How many sessions are needed?
You are always welcome to
book one session to try. We generally recommend
taking a minumum of three, at which point it is usually clear if more
are needed; most often people take between six and a dozen
sessions. Alot will depend on the issue presented, and whether it
is recent or chronic.
Feldenkrais can be compared to anything where organic learning –
somatic learning (‘soma’ is a Latin root meaning ‘of the body’) - as
opposed to academic learning - is involved. As with any holistic
therapy, working with the whole person implies that there are numerous
variants to be taken into consideration.
As with something like learning to play the piano, or to play tennis,
some people only ever take one or two lessons. They will remain
'beginners'.
Others may become more curious, or smitten, and go on to ‘learn scales
and chords’, or ‘how to serve and return as well as simply hit the
ball’.
A few people go on to become professionals and the greater proportion
probably fall somewhere in between.
With regard to the Feldenkrais Method, a lot depends on the needs or
requirements of the individual concerned.
Different people seek or are happy with, different levels of
improvement - and the reasons behind that are as numerous as the number
of people who have them.
Generally speaking though, the number of attendances often reflects the
depth of the presenting problem, and the level to which the individual
wants to take it.
