Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement class. This is a drop in class and weekly themes are selected based on the interests of the participants. It is a small class with plenty of opportunity for 1-1 input and feedback. These classes are particularly suited to anyone looking to improve their health, posture, movement or general wellbeing. It is perfect as a restorative class to support recovering from injury, accident or surgery and is also hugely helpful alongside a more dynamic yoga practice or other sports.

I am passionate about movement in all its forms and have danced ever since starting ballet and tap at the age of 4. My current dance passions are Argentine Tango and Egyptian Bellydance. I discovered the Feldenkrais method 15 years ago as rehabilitation for a back injury in a horse riding accident. I later became fascinated by the wider potential of the method for improving movement from noticing the impact it had on my dancing and undertook the four year training to qualify as a Feldenkrais practitioner.
I started practising yoga in the late 1990s and have followed a meandering path with my own yoga journey through a variety of yoga forms and meditation practices including Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Mindfulness and Soto Zen. One strand along this path led me to undertake Embodied Dancer yoga training for dancers and to qualify as a teacher with Yoga Alliance UK.
I find Feldenkrais constantly intriguing as a practice in itself, but for me the genius of the method is in the ways it has transformed my dance, my yoga, my horse riding or my running. I particularly enjoy helping students find ways of taking their discoveries off the mat and into their wider lives, whether this is in managing injuries, changing postural habits, improving sports performance or increasing sensitivity for manual work or playing an instrument.
