I very much enjoyed talking to Paulette Edwards on her radio show today. Paulette has recently recovered from an operation and was interested in taking better care of herself. She was brave enough to try a simple bit of Feldenkrais on live radio! If you would like to listen, you can hear it right here …

If you can tell me what I get Paulette to sing, you can have a free Feldenkrais class!
Looking forward to appearing on Radio Sheffield this Wednesday to talk to presenter Paulette Edwards about the Feldenkrais Method. I’ll be on the programme around 14.10-14.30 hrs and I’m going to get Paulette to try a little Feldy exercise live on air. Tune in to hear what happens!
The Feldenkrais Method can give you a better understanding of how your body moves and why you may experience pain or difficulty. Each person has their own individual habits in moving through life and some of those habits may be limiting and restrictive. In a Feldenkrais session, you explore simple movement patterns in order to increase your movement capability, ease stiffness and tension. For some people, the classes will be beneficial as a way of releasing and relaxing the body, for others the classes may reveal a whole new way of enjoying movement. Everyone is an individual!
As well as teaching Feldenkrais to undergraduates and to members of the public, I also edit a couple of journals about The Feldenkrais Method. When writing a short piece today to encourage contributions, I realised how close Feldenkrais practice is to being a researcher – its about approaching something with fresh eyes every time. When we teach The Feldenkrais Method, we encourage our clients and students to resist judging and making assumptions about their movement ability, rather to become interested in the process and remain open to new possibilities. If you’re interested in finding out more, contact me or sign up for a session.
