כל אחד מאיתנו מפתח הרגלים; דפוסים המשפיעים על היציבה שלנו, על הדרך בה אנו נעים ועל הדרך בה אנו מרגישים. מצד אחד, לעשות דברים באופן רגיל, ללא מחשבה מודעת, חוסך אנרגיה ומשחרר את המוח שלנו לשים לב לדברים אחרים. אבל שעות נוספות, חלק מההרגלים שלנו עלולים להיות מגבילים, מגבילים את עצמם וכואבים פיזית.

בזמן שאתה עושה את השיעורים העדינים והחושיים-מוטוריים האלה, מערכת העצבים שלך תיגש לאפשרויות חדשות, בריאות ונוחות יותר עבור הארגון והרווחה שלך. למד כיצד להפריע לדפוסים הרגלים המעכבים אותך, ולתמוך בפיתוח של גמישות ושינוי.

Has anyone ever asked you to be softer and more gentle?

These attributes are desired by most people.
Its far nicer to live with someone who is kind, soft and gentle, but in retrospect it is our personal relationship with ourselves that cries out for softness.
Due to numerous traumas that have shaped the person I am and affected my health, and the way I think and behave. To find a more comfortable and gentle relationship with myself became exceedingly important and apparent as the years passed by.
I have been working on myself and how I can become softer, gentler and kinder to myself. Over the years it has been challenging but with sessions of Focusing Oriented Therapy and continual practice of the genius Feldenkrais Method; I have found a much softer internal self that also reflects externally to the people closest to me.
With both the Feldenkrais method and Focusing Oriented therapy that complement each other in a very special and profound way, they dance together in a united meeting of mind, body and spirit. To reach this union is very possible and exhilarating but at the same time fragile and fluidly dynamic.
I have over many years developed and molded a way of teaching both techniques together, so when you come to experience a class of movement in my studio you will experience a variety of ways to discover yourself and what your limits are through movement and connecting to your internal self. By developing an awareness; through movement classes designed by Dr Moshe Feldenkrais; you will sense less pain, fluidity in your joints, clearer thought processes, a more flexible brain, better stability and posture, and a calmness and softness that is very touching to all the senses.
In unison the Feldenkrais and Focusing reach depths of softness and gentleness that is priceless. Together you will notice and experience changes that are not only welcome but imperative to a better wellbeing.
There are group classes, private classes, treatments all available for a more comfortable you.
I invite you either in person in my studio or on zoom.

Please contact me for more information....

It fascinates me to deepen and widen my knowledge of how to evolve into a happier and more content human being. Continual exploration of internal and external movement enhances calmer and softer nuances enabling a richer connection to oneself.

Feldenkrais and Focusing blend with grace.

Interested on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30 let me know and I shall re-open these times.

Setting up my schedule so still flexible.

Have you ever checked how you walk?
How do you walk over your feet?
How do you sit? Can you sit for long?
How do your shoulders relate to your pelvis?

Posture is vital to our well being and self image.
Our Well being and Self image strongly relate to posture.

The Feldenkrais Method revolves around a unique approach to learning through movement, based on Neurological, Physical and Bio-Mechanical principles. These principles, accompanied by a deep understanding of what makes us -as human beings - develop and learn, is what makes the Feldenkrais Method a revolutionary technique that merges both the physical and the psychological needs of individuals.

There two types of applications to the Feldenkrais Method; one in a group with guided instructions of gentle movements, the other is Functional Integration - the practitioner works with the student one on one. The lessons are delicate, sophisticated and effective on a very profound level. Their purpose is to fulfill our individual need for an aesthetic, comfortable and pain - free posture. The precise movements that the practitioner applies will have a direct effect on the students' muscular, skeletal and nervous systems.

ATM - Awareness through Movement:

The structure of the group lessons creates an organic learning process where old habits can easily be replaced with new skills and a new sense of awareness. Though each class focuses on different reference movements, in essence - each class is based on the same principles: that by simple, pleasant actions, and the right type of instruction, our bodies and our general sense of well-being can be improved in ways we never thought possible.

Group classes:

Sundays at 18.15
Mondays at 08.30

Tuesdays at 19:00 Jerusalem time, 18:00 Europe time, 17:00 GMT IN ENGLISH

כתינוקות אנו מחפשים וחוקרים את כל האפשרויות הבלתי נתפסות באמצעות ניסוי וטעייה , תמיד חוקרים.

כשאנחנו מתבגרים זה לצערנו מפסיק.
בשל תנאים רבים, (כמו ישיבה בכיתה) אנו מאבדים את הסקרנות להתפתח.

בדרך כלל, אך לא תמיד, הסקרנות הזו יכולה להצית מחדש את התשוקה שלנו לחקור אפשרויות כשאנחנו מבוגרים יותר.

באמצעות שיטת פלדנקרייז אנו חוקרים אינסוף דרכים לנוע בנוחות ולאפשר לתנועה לחדור לדפוסים התנהגותיים, רגשיים, פיזיים, נוירולוגיים וקוגניטיביים עמוקים.

אין סוף לגילוי אפשרויות.
השיטה מאפשרת מערכת יחסים חדשה עם עצמך וכלפי אחרים.
גילויים אלו נוגעים ללב.
צריך רק הקדשה קטנה כדי לחוות שינוי פיזי ונפשי.

As babies we search and explore all the unimaginable possibilities through trial and error; always exploring.

When we are older this unfortunately stops and due to numerous conditions, (like sitting in the classroom) we lose the curiosity to develop.

Usually, but not always, this curiosity can reignite our passion for exploring possibilities, when we are older.

Through the Feldenkrais Method we explore endless ways of moving comfortably; allowing the movement to tap into deep behavioural, emotional, physical, neurological, cognitive patterns.

There is never an end to discovering more possibilities.

The repertoire of Feldenkrais movement is infinitive. 💫

The method allows a new relationship with yourself and towards others. These discoveries are touchingly beautiful.

It only needs a small dedication in order to experience physical and mental change.
