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 “off the mat” and into our lives, through Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons and informal discussion of learning principles.
The life-changing benefits of ATM study include reduced pain, injury recovery and prevention, better balance, flexibility, and strength, more satisfying and sustainable patterns of action (in day-to-day movements as well as athletic and artistic endeavors), enriched self-discovery and personal autonomy, emotional resilience, and a more accessible sense of calm and comfort.
We learn to function with more ease, confidence, and pleasure in all that we do. Together we study Feldenkrais in pursuit of a more skillful, intentional, and joyful life!
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 Feldenkrais Project Weekly Zoom Class is included with tuition for preregistered students. You’ll receive an emailed Zoom link plus a replay for review that you can keep forever.
Some students do both versions of the lesson each week. This is 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 Attend
- Please arrive by 5:40 for the 5:45 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 registration is $25 per class and does not include the Zoom class or replay. (Replays can be purchased separately here. To get the right lesson, select the Tuesday immediately before the Wednesday evening class.)
TO DROP-IN:
- Simply bring a $25 check or cash to give to Nick before class.
- Or pay $25 via Venmo @NickStrauss-Klein. Nick’s phone verification is 8060. Please include a comment that says “Drop-in [date]”.
- To use a debit or credit card and/or a PayPal account, make a one-time $25 Simple Donation to The Feldenkrais Project. If you see the option, include a comment that says “Drop-in [date]”.
To preregister for all four weeks complete the form below by August 31. Tuition is $100 ($25/class) and includes the Zoom class and replay you can keep forever for review. If this class fee is prohibitive you may select the reduced rate option of $80 ($20/class)
Preregistration is over for this class, but you can still drop-in!
Looking forward to returning to class with you! I will be missing Sept 11, but can do virtually with the recording.
Sounds great! With you and a couple other particular folks it feels like we’re getting the old JCC Feldenkrais band back together!
