Online & In Person Feldenkrais Series to Refresh Your Movement
Do you want to feel more freedom, uprightness and fluidity in your movement?
Increase self-awareness, mobility, and nervous system regulation
~The spine, our back bone is involved in almost every movement we do-- walking, sitting, dancing, playing music, shoveling snow, swimming, and resting.
~This series will offer a diverse selection of lessons to mobilize, loosen, articulate and lengthen the spine.
~Through the spine we will connect and improve movements of the neck, pelvis and extremities.
~In addition, Awareness Through Movement Lessons® support releasing tension and stress in the mental and emotional body.
“This was a deeply nourishing experience. Michelle was relaxed and prepared, so I was able to completely trust her and relax into the experience. I looked forward to the sessions every week.” - Emily Fox, Dance Instructor
“It is not just a method of body movement, but rather an awakening of bodily resourcefulness and creativity.” –Ruthy Alon
What’s a Feldenkrais class like?
Awareness Through Movement lessons involve instruction of gentle movements, mostly while lying down. Instead of focusing on a technique or posture, we focus on a moving with a quality of ease, presence and curiosity.
As my Feldenkrais teacher Aliza Stewart says, “We’re not here to “do” something, we’re here to “feel something.”
At the end of class there is space to share reflections and ask questions.
This series will include lessons in a variety of positions, on back, belly and the side to improve different kinds of actions and functions.

About Feldenkrais:
Feldenkrais is an embodied learning practice of slowing down and experiencing how you move. In a lesson we combine our own curiosity and awareness with Moshe Feldenkrais’ profound knowledge of coordination, efficient movement and developmental movement patterns.
We practice decreasing doing and increasing awareness, which has positive benefits of decreased pain and increased choice, which ripples out into your life.
Movement is the language of the nervous system. We improve our movements with attention, which improves the overall functioning of the nervous system.
Through the practice we tap into the neuroplastic quality of the brain to infinitely improve. Each lesson is designed to help the nervous system learn.
The practice unleashes human potential through a gentle unwinding of holding patterns.
In many mindfulness practices we use the mind to improve the body, in Feldenkrais we use movement to improve the mind. It feels like magic, and it’s scientific!
