Next Workshop
Thursday 17 September 2026
'Balance & Weight Shifts (Finding the Support of your Skeleton)'
Because being human means that you are constantly, when walking (or running) shifting your weight between your two feet, or aresitting down or getting up - many just never give a thought to these transitions from one position to another, until some kind of physical limitation forces us to do so. Why wait til then? If this rings any bells for you, In this workshop you will explore, through various guided movement sequences that aim to offer you an experience of how your own skeleton can do alot more towards carrying your weight more efficiently, thus freeing up your musculature for the actual action of moving you wherever you want to go doing whatever you intend to do.
To be held at Ashburton Arts Centre, Upstairs Room, 15 West Street, Ashburton TQ13 7DT
at 10.45 -13.15
£35 - or £30 earlybird, up til 7 September

Feldenkrais Groupwork is suitable for those who are fairly well with reasonable mobility that they would like to improve and maintain, and who have:
- Capacity to lay on the floor, on your back, side, or front.
- Ability to get up and down easily unaided
- Not in persistent chronic pain
- If this does not include you and you cannot really say yes to the above, then please book an individual session before taking a class. Contact me>
In Person events - What To Bring
- Your own floor mat
- And two large bath towels/blankets
- Dress in loose, layered, clothing, warmly, and include socks and maybe mittens in winter/spring - lessons are quiet and you will cool down rather than warm up although the space is well heated
- Water to drink
Online events - How to Set Up for
- I need one single contact email address for the Zoom Link any last-minute communications about the class
- You preferably will use a laptop, (tablets and Ipads are tricky to set looking at the floor mat you will be laying on) Any autofocus setting should be OFF.. A laptop is by far the best to use.
- You should be familiar with using Zoom (www.zoom.us) software - just need to know how to enter/leave a meeting, to mute/unmute, put your video on/off,
- You should please display your name (ie not someone else's/company name) on Zoom correctly.
- You should check your internet connection so that your video can be on (you will benefit more if I can see you)
- You should aim to attend classes live please.
Now set up your physical space:
- Be somewhere quiet and private where you will not be disturber
- A mat, to lie on PLUS two folded blankets/towels (not cushions) for props
- Laptop positioned at one END of your mat AND Up on a Chair so that its camera looks down on your mat and sees it in full.
- Laptop also should be as close to the mat as possible and not on floor
- Dress more warmly than you think in loose comfy clothing including socks and possibly mittens in cool weather
- Zoom link - if it isn't with you isn't with you by 30 mins before your class/appointment please phone/email me (check your spam folder first)
