If you are unsure where to begin,
these guidelines will help. In any case, contact me and
we will discuss your interests.
Physical or Spiritual?
•
Begin where your interest lies. Some
people specifically want
Feldenkrais.
Some are particularly interested in an intuitive reading.
•
As you read through offerings available,
what piques your
curiosity the most?
•
What is your most pressing reason
for coming? For improvement
of movement or tissues, check out Physical offerings; for
existential
questions
of life purpose and meaning, a desire for deeper
connection,
check out Spiritual offerings.
•
Is a particular area easiest for
you? Are you athletic or do you
have an affinity for the ethereal, or both?
•
Where we begin simply means choosing
a doorway. Often, the
“physical” and “spiritual” are one
and the same, and each level
can be addressed directly or indirectly, automatically or
by choice.
Privates or Classes?
•
Some people prefer the privacy and
attention of individual sessions.
Some prefer being part of a group in a class. Some choose
to take
advantage of both.
Benefit
of private work: The session is focused on your unique
interests and needs; you have privacy in which to experience
and
process;
my observation and facilitation is focused solely on you.
Benefit of classes: The “Group
Mind” supports everyone’s focus;
hearing others’ experiences (when appropriate) can
shed light on
your own; you truly do all of the “work” yourself.
•
If you have a specific injury or
movement challenge, privates are
usually the way to start
•
If you are new to Feldenkrais
& body work, start either with privates
or I will meet with you before your first class to go over
some pointers

anything. It teaches you to be easy and graceful
WITHOUT trying. What??? Yes!!!”
