After the success of our FREE three week Introductory series of Awareness Through Movement classes specifically for people living with Parkinson's Disease, I am delighted to be offering a new 6 week series of classes, to continue the learning.
The Feldenkrais Method influences the neurological patterns that determine our movement. We re-experience movement patterns that we may have "forgotten" and so improve our repertoire of movement.
- Looking for better BALANCE?
We will practice and improve balance, and explore ways to get up and down off the ground
- Want to improve your WALKING?
We will explore cadence, tempo, amplitude, and the diagonal relationships between arms and legs
- Like to feel more GROUNDED in your feet?
Wake up your feet and get more information about your weight bearing, experience your feet and ankles as balance sensors
- Increase Core awareness
You will start to sense how your hips and pelvis are the centre of support, balance and power.
If you long to feel more FLUID in all your movement... COME ALONG!

TESTIMONIAL
"I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in September 2014 at age 59.
I tried the recommended Tai Chi and PD Warriors classes, but unfortunately both were too physically hard for me.
Looking for some other form of exercise I started Pilates, which I still enjoy, but I was / am always was looking for something more.
When I joined Wendy’s Feldenkrais classes in 2015, I hoped find some relief from my body’s stiffness and pains. After the first session, I didn’t think I was getting much from it. How on earth these small movements, mostly on one side of the body could help me? Would I be able actually stand up and walked home at all?
But to my absolute astonishment I was amazed with my movements as I walked across the room after the exercise. My body was definitely moving differently and without pain and stiffness. And from then I was hooked.
My advice to anyone considering Feldenkrais is . . . try it! Don’t be put off by fear or scepticism, wondering “will this really work for me?”
It will.
Wendy is a great teacher, individually correcting our postures during the sessions, which I personally find very helpful. You will meet lovely people, but most of all, you will find relief from pain and stiffness and thus improve the posture”.
