The FP Weekly Zoom Class

You'll see "Thanks for your purchase," and we will send individual emails for each class or replay you purchase.

• Upcoming class emails will have a Zoom link to join the videoconference, and you'll also get a replay email later on Tuesdays.
• Replay emails include links to stream or download video or audio only, plus free Feldenkrais Project audio lesson links for further study.
• Please check your spam folder and search your email for "FP Weekly" (just like that, with the quotes) before contacting us, if you don't receive an email.
• To keep track of your purchases, search your email for nick@feldenkraisproject.com or "FP Weekly".

Yes! Check out our Feldenkrais for Walking open house event, and enjoy a full Zoom Feldenkrais class replay and lesson discussion with our class!

We've also included the same kinds of info and free links for additional study that we send as "homework" options with each class replay.

Your purchase of FP Weekly Classes always includes links to Zoom replays in video* AND audio format! Both are available to stream and download, making these classes accessible even if you have internet bandwidth limits.

The audio Zoom files are small, around 60MB. So whether there's a bandwidth concern or you prefer studying Feldenkrais by audio, we've got you covered.

* In the event of Zoom technical challenges you'll still receive our backup audio recording of each class.

Your camera on or off? It's up to you. But we'd love to see you, and if I can see you I may be able to personalize the lesson more for you.

We share gallery mode recordings so everyone can enjoy the sense of a class, but your name will not appear in the Zoom recording unless you use the text chat.

Zoom is the internet’s leading live video conferencing technology. It works well on most computers, tablets, and phones. It’s easy to learn and gives you a lot of control over your experience. Here’s why our Zoom calls are secure.

Zoom will invite you to download their software (which I recommend). The Zoom app allows you to watch live video and, if you wish, participate by text chat, voice, and even video sharing, but you’ll be able to see and hear me and the class without sharing video or audio of yourself if you choose not to.

Thank you so much for your support as a Member or Patron! As you know, the Feldenkrais Project is full of free lesson recordings, as well as additional study tools for Members, and additional audio lessons for Patrons.

Our FP Weekly Zoom Classes are a separate project added in March 2020 in response to the pandemic. While we’d love to offer them as part of your donor benefits, please understand that the they represent significant additional time and technical expenses.

We totally understand if you take your Member or Patron-level donations into account and choose a lower pay-what-you-can fee when you order our weekly Zoom classes and replays.

Yes, if (1) there’s a technical problem with Zoom or my own internet connection while we’re live and (2) I can’t share a recording after the class and (3) you email me within 30 days.

I’m unable to offer refunds for time-zone mistakes or for technical challenges on your end, or if you inadvertently register for the wrong class. You may of course choose to pay less for your next class if you feel you have lost value.

After testing, we chose to power our order form with Stripe, which is just as secure as PayPal, is much quicker to generate an email confirmation for you (and makes fewer mistakes), and still protects your information from anyone else, including me (Nick).

With classes added to this page every week we can't keep replays on our order form above for more than a few months.

Check out the Archived Favorites above for Nick's recommendations from the more distant past.

Also, the very best of our Zoom classes eventually become Feldenkrais Project audio lessons. These are complete with everything listeners love about our permanent collections: professional sound quality, edits for even better flow and clarity, and full lesson notes and cross-references.

Most of these end up in our Patrons Monthly collection, and they often become part of our Deep Dives.

Praise for Nick's live online classes

Feedback from Connie from Minnesota, a participant in our 4/28/20 class:

Yesterday afternoon I tackled a house project I'd put off for many months, steam cleaning all the carpet in the house. I hadn't been working long when I realized, "I don't need to do this with a heavy push forward and then pull backwards", a method that resembles vacuuming and puts a lot of pressure on my lower back. I realized I can walk forward and then walk backward, pushing and pulling the machine in that way. It was like magic – just as effective and not nearly as wearing. Later, I remembered your advice to ask how the spinal bias can be helpful. I thought about that question and immediately got even further relief by slightly adjusting my spine. It seems so darn obvious but without Feldenkrais, I would have not considered asking myself the question of "is there an easier way?"

Feedback from a participant in our 4/21/20 class:

Before the plague, I was taking lessons from you at the Marsh, and continue to do so most Mondays and Tuesdays on Zoom. We don’t have a camera on our computer, so I cannot participate in that way. However, I do see and hear you, and others, and am getting some amazing, mind-blowing results. In particular this last one, Tuesday 4.21, which made me feel as if I had a body transplant. Upon standing, I thought, “Whose body is this, and what did you do with my old one?”

Thank you, Nick, very much. As long as my luck holds, I intend to continue to take classes and to learn and change.

Feedback from a participant in our 4/20/21 class:

So detailed, yet simple. I've done a lot of ATMs over the years, with some very fine instructors, but you are helping me find new insights and clarifications in Old Favorite lessons. I particularly appreciate the way you balance profound information with material suitable for those new to the work...and the myriad of ways you remind us to do "less". I've shared your link on Facebook, and rave about your work to anyone who'll listen.

From Beth, San Rafael, CA, brand new Feldenkrais Project Patron:

Many, many thanks for sharing your outstanding live Feldenkrais class with the general public this morning. What a wonderful way to start the day and to feel a sense of connection, not only with our bodies but with the rest of the world as we hunker down.

I’m planning to contribute to your Project and applaud your vision to bring Feldenkrais to all, particularly during these unprecedented times.

To good health and equanimity!

From other students:

Just wanted to thank you for an amazing class today! Thank you for your hard work and for giving me the possibility to take the class in these uncertain times of social isolation. It was inspiring!

Also wanted you to know that I am in love with your classes and have passed your website on to several other people who need help at this time! I am over the moon grateful and will become a member or patron very soon.

In gratitude

I can't imagine all of the tech you are doing to make this work. I'm listening in, old school, by phone!

It's an absolute lifesaver. It so calms down my nervous system. What a way to be in our bodies with this level of anxiety.

And, thanks for your loving presence in these classes.

First, I’d like to thank you for a wonderful first-time experience with your free on-line live class the other day. You’re amazing in how you explain things so clearly.

I cannot express enough my gratitude to you & your concern for helping others. You are a rare man, not looking for the almighty dollar but to serve others with your loving heart.

Bless you & your family.

From a Facebook post to friends, shared with me by a participant:

My daughter and I just finished a free live online Feldenkrais class together at home. It was rejuvenating! There were 120 people in the class from all over the world – Spain, Australia, Germany, Israel, the UK, and all over the US. It was inspiring to see people trying to take care of themselves in this crazy time. I’ve been doing Feldenkrais private lessons for five years and it has changed my body and my life. It is a neuromuscular reeducation. My instructor, Nick Strauss-Klein, has created the Feldenkrais Project to create free lessons online. You can become a member for more benefits but there are dozens of lessons online for free. As we are all cooped up for awhile and need to stay sane and healthy think about giving this a try. I promise you won’t regret it and you might even become a life-long devotee like me and many others.
