Your body...

Your body was your first teacher and remains a powerful resource of information for birth, growth, change and for being fully alive.

In the words of Moshe Feldenkrais "...it is difficult to find a mental act that can take place without the support of some physical function." As we shape our lives, our lives shape us. Our responses to the forces of life, its joys and challenges, shape our bodies and our minds. Our structures, contours and movements become a living map of who we are – a reflection of our habits of moving, thinking, and feeling.

We begin to move, interact with ourselves and our environment, and even choose preference as we develop within the womb. As children, we model our behavior and movement after our caregivers – creating stances and habits that both identify and limit us. As we get older, it is often the ‘gifts’ of pain and injury or the joy of new life that brings our attention to how move and function in life. Offering the opportunity, at times the necessity, to open and awaken to new possibilities.

To be fully alive is to be responsive and aware, to have the capacity to learn and relearn. The Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education can help you reconnect with your innate ability to learn by improving your ability to move, sense, think and feel. I invite you to join me, and find yourself in motion!
