WEEKLY FELDENKRAIS CLASSES:
THEMES FROM JUNE  2nd – AUGUST 6th 2025
(return to schedule page for costs and booking)

As ever, these on-going classes are stand-alone so that you can drop-in as you wish (except Tuesday which needs booking) and start in any week. If you are able to come regularly you will get a more complete picture.

The theme across all the classes June – Aug is “AGILITY AND EASE“, but from three different aspects.
AGILITY can be described as the power of moving easily – at speed if wished. It speaks to a quality of movement and an ability to adapt to the intentions, conditions and situations of the moment.  Of course all the classes are for your whole self, not just one part, but we can explore from different angles. That means that all the classes overlap and interweave, so coming on different days works too.

“AGILITY AND EASE – HIPS”
The way we use our hips is obviously foundational to our agility and ease.
We have so many options to explore or improve:
-crossed legs, squatting and other ways of sitting or moving on the floor,
-getting up and down
-power of the pelvis in standing and moving.

Mondays 7.30-8. 30pm (UK) ON ZOOM
Tuesdays 7.45 – 8.45pm at The Haelan Centre, London, N8 (side entrance)

“AGILITY AND EASE – SPINE”
Crucial to all our mobility, stability, comfort and even breathing – the ways we involve the spine are most often partial or compromised. We will explore and improve the bending, arching, twisting movements of our snake-like spine through all its articulations, and see how important it is for the transmission, sharing and ease of movement through our whole self.
Wednesdays 10-11am (UK) on ZOOM

“AGILITY AND EASE – NECK, SHOULDERS, ARMS”
A particular challenge for us humans, we will explore the support for and mobility of the shoulder girdle and its relationship to the spine (with special attention to the freedom of the neck!) through the arms’ large repertoire of functional movement!

Fridays: 1.30-2.30pm at The Crouch End Fitness Centre, London N8

Over 12 years of teaching the Feldenkrais Method I have come to realise how much the ability to breathe and move freely and not feel the need to push, strain, brace or pull oneself together tightly depends significantly on our fundamental sense of safety.  Whether it is through many little experiences, a persistent condition, injury or major trauma, many of us discover at some point that we are vulnerable.

You may be familiar with best-selling neuroscience writer, Norman Doidge’s recent book ‘The Brain’s Way of Healing’ with 2 chapters on Feldenkrais in it, but if not here he is talking about the man, his genius and his Method.
