Couldn’t have said it better :)

“Posture is personal.”

From a Feldenkrais perspective, posture is not something to force or fix into a “correct” shape. It is a living expression of how you organise yourself in gravity, shaped by your history, habits, emotions, and intentions.

Rather than asking “Am I sitting or standing correctly?”, we might ask “How am I doing this, and could it be easier?”

When we bring gentle attention to how we move and hold ourselves, we begin to discover options. Effort softens. Breathing frees. Movement becomes more fluid and responsive.

There is no single ideal posture. There is only the one that works for you in this moment and your ability to adapt it when life asks something new.

Awareness creates choice. And choice is where comfort and change begin.

Join us in May for International Feldenkrais Awareness Week to explore more and unpack posture.

“Your arches are too high.”

Or…

Your feet are bracing.

Swipe and look carefully 👀

The difference isn’t dramatic.
It’s intelligent.

The sole broadened.
The toes grounded.
The foot lengthened.

And I didn’t lay a finger on it.

Just one footboard lesson.
Zero hands.
100% nervous system.

When you stop treating structure like the enemy,
the nervous system stops gripping like it’s in danger.

High arches don’t always need support.
Sometimes they need permission.

Turns out… your foot has a brain.

✨ Curious what yours is organising?

As most of my students know, i’m a cancer survivor. Without doubt the most direct way I’ve experienced calm is through the practice of Feldenkrais. Quite simply, you will feel better ❤️‍🩹

“There is no freedom of choice or free will where there is only one way of acting. Learning makes it possible to have alternative ways of performing anything. The ability to learn is synonymous with free choice and free will”

— Moshe Feldenkrais, The Case of Nora

Huh?? Felden- what??? And why???

Moshe Feldenkrais offered a new way of discovering ourselves through movement—one that is gentle, intelligent, and deeply human. Drawing on his knowledge as a scientist and engineer, he showed that real strength does not come from strain or effort, but from learning how to move with awareness and ease. True movement, he believed, should awaken energy rather than drain it, leaving us lighter, calmer, and more alive.

At the centre of this work is the nervous system—the hidden orchestra that shapes how we move, feel, and respond to life. When old habits soften, the body’s natural wisdom emerges. Movements grow smoother, breathing deepens, emotions find release, and the unity of body and mind becomes something we can feel in every step, every breath.

Lessons often begin on the ground, where gravity’s pull loosens and the body can rest into new possibilities. With small, playful explorations, joints free themselves, the breath opens, and the pelvis—the body’s centre of power—awakens as the quiet source of effortless strength.

Each lesson is a journey. A single theme is explored from many angles, gently repeated so that the body learns without strain. Sometimes one side of the body is freed first, revealing the contrast with the other. At other times, the imagination leads the way, proving that the mind’s images can transform the body’s reality.

Feldenkrais taught that every action is woven from four threads: movement, sensation, feeling, and thought. When these come together in harmony, we rediscover the joy of moving as nature intended—free, flowing, and whole.

Why not give it a try and experience your potential, today, to feel easier than you possibly realise. Bookings via www.somaself.com

Worth a read

New research suggests that parents should use sing-song speech, such as nursery rhymes, with their babies, as it aids language development.

A big thank you to all those of you who attended my Feldenkrais class today at Jenise’s beautiful The Kula Farm. It is such a pleasure to spend time with lovely, open-minded and flexible minds. I appreciate the time you dedicated to your learning, even when it proves a little challenging. Until the next time ✌️🙏❤️ [edit: I have recorded the lesson if anyone would like to have this resource for home use. It’s the same as being in the class as none of the movements are demonstrated. So it’s good for anyone. Just DM me. $10 for class participants, $20 for others]
