Workshops

Starting June 18, 2025 at 12 noon ET on Zoom.

If you’re suffering from back or neck pain, your movement habits as well as the stress and anxiety held in your body may be contributing to your discomfort. And your body speaks its mind!

The Feldenkrais Method® aims to retrain your habits of moving, feeling and thinking by guiding you through a series of slow “lessons” called Awareness Through Movement®, designed to encourage greater flexibility and coordination. Ever thought how your back pain may originate in your hips and pelvis?

The classes and workshops will emphasize the importance of doing less and slowing down, and adding variation and curiosity to everything you do. You will also learn how to reduce anxiety and unnecessary stress – and feel much calmer and happier!

Habitual tension is exhausting. It drains our energy, restricts our breathing, and limits our freedom of movement. It’s no surprise that chronic tension is often linked to anxiety and emotional stress—and can contribute to pain, inflammation, and disorganized movement.

This workshop explores how anxiety shows up in our posture—what Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais called our acture, or action-based posture. When we repeat the same tension patterns day after day, our spine—the central axis of our being—can become rigid, twisted, and misaligned. Movement no longer flows efficiently through us; instead, strain concentrates in specific joints and vertebrae, overtaxing them and disrupting healthy function.

Through gentle Awareness Through Movement® lessons, we’ll begin to interrupt these patterns and bring more awareness, ease, and organization to how we move, stand, and breathe. Learn to shift the body pattern of anxiety from the inside out—and rediscover a calmer, more resilient sense of self.

We humans evolved to walk easily across natural terrain, where step-to-step differences are not uncommon. Our feet are our foundation—carrying us through life, shaping posture, balance, and ease of movement. Yet we rarely give them the attention they deserve. In this Feldenkrais® workshop, we’ll explore the anatomy, function, and sensation of the feet through gentle Awareness Through Movement® lessons. Discover how improving the organization of your feet can relieve strain, enhance balance, and bring vitality to your entire system – from Sole to Spine to Self!

“Often ,quite apart from the local improvement, a remarkable increase in general vitality can be observed in the student who has learned a more differentiated and varied use of his feet.” – Moshe Feldenkrais, “Higher Judo: Groundwork”

So many of you have been asking when we can do in-person classes or workshops. And so we will do a Vitality/Bones for Life workshop on Sunday, June 29th in my studio in NW DC. The workshop will be for anyone who wants to find strategies to lift up their vitality, increase their bone density, and generally feel good, by doing short movement processes.

The Bones for Life program uses the laboratory of coordination from the Feldenkrais Method® and applies its principles of somatic learning to the specific context of springy and dynamic movements within a vertical weight-bearing posture as needed for stimulating bone strength.Since this is an in-person only workshop, the space is very limited. Please click here to book and pay in advance. Refreshments are included! Yes – ginger tea!

Are you feeling the strain of the times—and seeing it in your face? In this soothing workshop, you’ll gently explore how to release habitual patterns of tension held in your forehead, eyes, mouth, and jaw.

We’ll focus on the seventh cranial nerve—the facial nerve—which governs expressions like smiling, frowning, and raising the eyebrows. Through guided Awareness Through Movement® lessons, you’ll learn how freeing the face can influence your entire nervous system, activating your parasympathetic “rest and digest” response for deeper calm.

You’ll also learn simple hands-on techniques and tips to maintain tone and freshness in your face—naturally. Release anxiety, soften your expression, and feel more like yourself—inside and out.
