Weekly Classes for Autumn Term

Tuesday evenings 6.30-7.15 Online

31 October, 14 & 21 November block of 3

Exploring shorter (45 min)lessons in sitting.

These lessons offer not only an understanding of the mechanism of sitting but also a range of self-help 'tools' that facilitate being seated and work with typical discomforts. These classes are also a great option for those who are unable to lay on the floor or get up/down easily.

"I have engaged with Feldenkrais method classes for many years. I am finding these online zoom classes very effective and enabling. Since classes are always guided by listening and individual, personal internal attention to movement, (not watching or accessing movement from a visual exterior), they are extremely successful, offering Nikhila's presence and voice directions in lived time (attentive to what you are doing, via the zoom), in comfort of your own space, with ease of immediate resting after, able to quietly digest the wisdoms that the class has offered the body-mind. I highly recommend them." Jill Lewis
