Come experience the joys of in-person Feldenkrais! The Breathing Place is a beautiful, intimate space. The small group setting allows lessons to be personalized for those present. We focus on taking Feldenkrais learning “off the mat” and into our lives, through Feldenkrais ATM lessons and informal discussion.

Hannah Texler sent this feedback about our spring class, shared with her permission:

After class tonight, I had one of those ah-ha moments. I have been surprised by how much gardening I have been able to do in the last week or two. I took on some challenging gardening tasks involving lots of reaching, squatting, bending and twisting, and I’ve been constantly feeling surprised that I wasn’t exhausted. I realized tonight that our Feldenkrais class is the reason I was able to do so much and still feel good.

Each week’s closely-related FP Weekly Zoom Class is included with your tuition (Zoom link + replay you can keep forever). This means each week there’s an optional “homework” lesson you can explore before or after our in-person class, either live online Tuesdays at 9:30 AM or by video replay whenever you like.

The learning benefits of doing two different versions of the “same” Feldenkrais lesson each week can’t be overstated! It’s a fantastic way to study because you’ll come into the second exploration with questions to explore, based on the lesson and how it has reverberated in your life since the first time you did it.

The Zoom options are also a way to attend and follow our curriculum even when you have to miss an in-person class.

 

 

How to Register

There are two ways to register to attend in-person. Both ways include in-person Wednesday at 6:00 PM, a Zoom link to the Tuesday morning 9:30 class the day before, and permanent Zoom replay access to each week’s lesson.

 

1) To preregister for all six weeks simply complete the form below by May 31. Tuition is $150 ($25/class). If this class fee is prohibitive you may select the reduced rate option of $120 ($20/class)

 

2) To drop-in for $28 per class see the drop-in instructions below.

 

Whether you register for all six classes using the form below, or use the drop-in method below you will receive the Zoom link and replay for each class you register for.

  • Please arrive 5-minutes early to class. Enter on Iglehart Street through the door next to the children’s play area. There is ample on-street parking.
  • The Breathing Place is on the lower level of the church, four steps down from this entrance. The bathrooms are one floor up. There is no elevator, unfortunately.

 

 

Drop-in instructions

To drop-in the fee is $28 per class, paid on our FP Weekly Class order form. To attend any Wednesday night June 5 – July 10 at 6pm in-person, order the Tuesday morning online class scheduled the day BEFORE. Next month’s dates become available for sale near the end of the current month.

IMPORTANT FOR DROP-INS:

  • Be sure to enter $28 for “How much would you like to pay per lesson?”
  • Be sure to click the “OPTIONAL IN-PERSON” blue text and checkbox near the “Complete Order” button.
  • If signing up sometime between Tuesday’s Zoom and Wednesday’s in-person class, the Tuesday may have disappeared from the Upcoming Classes list. No problem! Just order the Recent Replay of the Tuesday date for $28 and you’ll be registered for Wednesday night class.
  • You’ll receive an emailed receipt and emails regarding the Zoom class, but due to technical limitations there’s no acknowledgment of your drop-in in-person registration. Don’t worry! You are registered as long as you paid $28 and clicked the blue text and checkbox. See you there!

THE FINE PRINT:

  • If the $28 drop-in fee is prohibitive please email Nick.
  • If you also wish to attend only online some weeks, you don’t have to pay $28 for them. Make a separate FP Weekly Class purchase for those dates, choosing your own pay-what-you-can rate for those dates.
  • If after paying for online-only access you decide to come in person the next day, please make an additional FP Weekly Class purchase of the same date to bring your total tuition up to $28 for that week.
  • Questions? Please ask! I’m doing my best to explain, but I may not have nailed it yet. I think it will seem quite simple and flexible once we get rolling!
