Online Feldenkrais Courses December 2021

As you already know the speciality of Feldenkrais is that it is working the whole body and mind. When you make time for yourself you can bring more fun and smiles into your life. Don’t we need it now more than ever?

Therefore my online Feldenkrais classes are not going to stop in between the years. I will be offering three weekly classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to make the transition into the New Year as easy as possible.

In these three weeks we will work with the magic roller. If your shoulders, back or pelvis are in need of special attention, these are your classes.

Just take a towel and join me for some movement investigations. These next 3 weeks will improve your Pre/Post-Christmas happiness and keep your stress levels low. Join one or more classes per week and pick whatever weekday suits you best each week.

These live online Feldenkrais classes are not the usual Zoom meetings! Point your camera towards you so I can guide you through the classes but my instructions are verbal and you do not need to look at the screen. No one does except me. Create your own safe space at home and make your wellbeing your priority.

After each class we are having a little social where you can ask questions and share your discoveries with likeminded class mates.

Bärbel Rücker, UK Guild certified Feldenkrais practitioner

After 4 years of Feldenkrais Practitioner Training in Switzerland I am a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner since 2017. Since then I am sharing my knowledge about this amazing method in private classes, group settings and online.

To keep myself up to date, I regularly participate in advanced Feldenkrais Trainings in Europe. As much as possible I am joining the daily Feldenkrais practitioner study-group “An AY a Day” for my own development. Being a student myself helps me to relate better to my students and keeps me grounded.

I am looking forward to explore the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method with you.

Helpful tips to get started on Zoom

Zoom has been proven to be a brilliant platform on which I am able to bring The Feldenkrais Method to you. It not only allows me to watch you carefully during the class it also offers several ways of how we can interact with each other. All knowing we are safe but not alone.

Many of my students have had their first encounter with Zoom when joining one of my online Feldenkrais classes. Once you have tried it you’ll see it becomes easier and it’ll open doors to other encounters.

Using Zoom is totally free for you. Having a personal Zoom account (FREE) can help you in the daily use of the program but is not obligatory.

Try out Zoom here zoom.us/test/. Their help pages make the setting up process easy. Anyway I recommend to read through my blog post: How to best set up for online exercise classes.

The set up with a camera allows me to observe your movements and to guide you safely through gentle exercises. Verbal feedback supports the process. Thanks to the internet and the functionality of Zoom I am able to offer you the audio recordings of the group classes. They are included in the PREMIUM Package and can be purchased as well. Plus the geographical location is no longer an obstacle!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I join even if I never have done Feldenkrais before?

Yes, beginners are very welcome.

Plan enough time to set up and join the meeting 5-10 minutes before the class starts so you can ask questions. In the first few minutes of each class important instructions are given. You don’t want to miss out on them especially if you are new to the method.

How to set up for the online class?

I have a blog post dedicated to this question: How to best set up for online exercise classes.

What should I wear for a Feldenkrais class?

Chose comfortable warm clothes which allow you to move freely. Layers are good. In many Feldenkrais classes you will do only slow and small movements. Even in a warm room you might get a bit cold.

As I will be supervising you via the video consider wearing lighter colours and avoid black.

What equipment do I need?

I recommend using a (yoga)mat, blanket or simply the carpet and to have some towels handy as well. Bring some water and your curiosity. No need for extra fancy stuff.

How long is a Feldenkrais group class?

In general a class is between 45-60 minutes long. Allow yourself some time afterwards to integrate your experiences. You are invited to our little social afterwards but it’s optional.

Diving into the world of sensation and self awareness can be very tiring or energising. It differs from person to person and from lesson to lesson. Just make sure you plan enough time afterwards before you schedule other appointments.

Is a Feldenkrais class suitable for 60 plus?

YES absolutely! No one is too old to learn something new! If some movements are difficult you simply do them in your imagination. “You Are Never Too Old To Learn” is the success story of one of my students and he was 88 years old when he started working with me.

In Feldenkrais work we are using small gentle movements to improve your self awareness. You improve the way you move now and (re)gain comfort and ease no matter what your age.

A lot of the classes are on the floor and your Feldenkrais teacher will make it easy for you to get down and to come up again. It will get easier each time anyway.

Is Feldenkrais for men too?

YES. The Feldenkrais classes will help you no matter what age or gender you are.

The Feldenkrais Method is about learning and your gender, age, profession or nationality doesn’t matter as long as you are open minded and curious you can benefit from it.

Can I join a course even when I have a very irregular work life?

No worries. With the PREMIUM offer you can join any of my classes at any time plus you’ll get the audio files of the classes at the end of each term.
