“If you know what you’re doing, you can do what you want.” — Moshe Feldenkrais

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement invites participants to explore the fundamental movement patterns that shape our everyday activities. Through gentle, guided movement, we become curious about how we move, discovering greater ease, efficiency, and freedom in our bodies.

Grounded in the belief that everyone has an inherent capacity to learn and change, the Feldenkrais Method encourages self-awareness, exploration, and a greater sense of agency. These lessons can support overall well-being, reduce stress, improve movement coordination, and offer new possibilities for navigating the physical demands of daily life, aging, athletics, and artistic expression.

In this introductory series, participants will explore small, comfortable movements, primarily while lying on their backs or sides. Rather than striving for a particular outcome, the emphasis is on curiosity, sensing, and discovering new possibilities for movement.

What to Bring

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. You may wish to bring an extra towel, blanket, or yoga mat for comfort while lying on the floor.
