Online Feldenkrais Workshops 2021 • Moving Experience

Treat yourself. Recharge at the weekend. Work out from home. Meet likeminded people.

When was the last time you listened to yourself? Is your body trying to catch your attention with aches and pains?

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

Does this quote sound familiar to you? I invite you to try a different approach The Feldenkrais Method to turn your life around. With these monthly Online Feldenkrais Workshops you’ll take the first step in the right direction.

These Feldenkrais workshops are especially for you if you:

are curious about The Feldenkrais Method (no Feldenkrais experience needed),
want more Feldenkrais in your life (they go well with weekly group classes and privates),
can only fit weekend activities in your busy calendar,
want to take control over your life and feel better.

Spend 90 minutes discovering new movement patterns. Calm yourself down and get grounded a good way. You will work out your body and mind in a very different way to the usual exercising classes. Be prepared to see a different result. Reducing tension and finding more enjoyable ways of moving will give you the life back you want.

After each workshop you’ll get the option to download the audio recording of the lesson so you can work through the lesson again at your own convenience.

Choose your Feldenkrais Workshop

When life gets difficult the body responds with tension and maybe even pain. Then you know some bigger changes are needed. Changing habits is difficult and often it seems easier to turn to medication which comes with side effects.

The Feldenkrais Method is more than a simple exercise program. Working the Feldenkrais way can change your way of thinking and open doors for you. But new habits take long to establish. To turn your life around you will need to invest some time as well.

Are you looking for help concerning a special issue?

All workshops will have a specific focus. Nevertheless each Feldenkrais lesson will address the whole body.

Or are you ready to make bigger changes in your life?

If your life situation allows consider combining the workshops with regular weekly classes. The more the merrier. You will be surprised how much you can change in a short time.

These workshops are different

You are pleased to know that Online Feldenkrais Workshops are not the usual Zoom meetings.

Why? Because firstly you point your camera towards yourself so I can see you. This way I can guide you safely through the classes. Secondly my instructions are purely verbal so you do not need to look at the screen. Actually no one does except me. You create your own safe space at home and I’ll help you to make your wellbeing your priority.

At the end of each Feldenkrais workshop we are having a little social where you can ask questions and share your discoveries with the other participants.

Book your Feldenkrais Workshop

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 workshop starts so you can ask questions. In the first few minutes of the workshop 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 workshop?

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 workshop?

Chose comfortable warm clothes which allow you to move freely. Layers are good. In many cases 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.

Check out the workshop description (next to the pictures) as some will ask you to have one or two extra blankets and towels.

How long is the Feldenkrais workshop?

The Saturday Feldenkrais Workshops will run 90 minutes. After a brief introduction and welcome round we will work through one Awareness Through Movement lesson. You have the opportunity to share your experiences and ask questions after that.

In general an Awareness Through Movement class is between 45-60 minutes long.

Allow yourself some time after the workshop to integrate your experiences. 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 I 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.

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.
