“I’ve felt more comfortable and mentally/ physically relaxed in my body today than I have in a long time.” - Jessie Cahill
“My neck was stiff for 3 days and after I noticed that there was no more stiffness.” - Carmen Reid
“As someone who has experienced chronic pain, Feldenkrais has been incredibly helpful. I've been able to actually drop into the uncomfortable sensations and start to build a compassionate relationship with my body. This process has led to many profound insights for me, and I have had many "aha" moments during Feldenkrais classes! This all feels possible for me because I feel such a sense of comfort and ease in Michelle's presence” - Danielle
What people are saying about Feldenkrais with Michelle Huber:
“Michelle’s warm, kind manner, precise and thorough instructions, and unfailingly encouraging attitude have brought me on a healing journey with Feldenkrais for which I am deeply grateful.” - Kamas Choi
“I woke up this morning without the usual intense cramps in my neck that I have grown accustomed to first thing in the morning. It was amazing to wake up with a free neck!” - Jackie Ryan
“I found Michelle’s class to be a gentle journey into an intensive engagement with my body’s subtleties and potential. Her calm, clear, finely paced guidance led to a glorious respite from everyday agendas and the anxiety of a culture obsessed with speed and will. I found myself smiling through a whole session on softening and expansion- what a wonderful time to deeply explore the body’s realms that so often gets ignored or dismissed.” - Kara
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 and developmental movement patterns.
It’s a practice of decreasing doing and increasing awareness, which often 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.
The practice unleashes potential.
In many mindfulness practices we use the mind to improve the body, in Feldenkrais we use movement to improve the mind. It’s magic! And scientific!
