Apologies to those of you who are longing for an in-person class - these will come, I promise! in good time. Eventually my intention is to have one in-person and one online class per week. Plus a range of workshops.
Did you know? Results of a national study by the UK Feldenkrais Guild showed that Online Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes are one of the few things that work really well in favour of participants? With very little screen time (since you mostly have your eyes closed), you can tune in from anywhere on the planet and, you're totally in charge of your environment, it's temperature - and if you forgot your sweater, your socks, or your mat, you can just go get them. And you have no travel time to consider, or travel costs.
Hope to see you there soon.

If you have persistent pain or injury, at least one 1-1 'Functional Integration' lessons is recommended prior
to attending workshops or classes. It just basically means I can help you more - you get individual attention, lessons are tailored to your specific interests.. An 'FI' or two will enhance the benefits of the groupwork and accelerates your learning, healing and improvement when you then come to a Course, or Workshop.
