The Feldenkrais Method® uses simple, gentle movements to help people connect more deeply to themselves and to improve their well-being.
I am certified by the Feldenkrais Guild to teach Awareness Through Movement (ATM). I offer this in a group setting, where I guide students through simple movement prompts that can help them discover all kinds of things about their body and the way they know themselves. It's common for people who experience chronic pain or nursing an injury come to Feldenkrais class, to figure out how to move more easily with their changing body. But ! -- the method is a beautiful practice for all people; I particularly like to work with artists.
As a Feldenkrais practitioner, I feel connected in working with:
Dance: performers who want to improve in flexibility, balance, ease, and expressivity.
Voice: singers, actors, and performers who want to get deeper into the embodiment of vocalization as an extension of themselves.
Queer Identity: for those who want a safe place to explore their bodies and movement without the elements of gender and sexuality discrimination
Asian Diasporic Identity: similar to the above, I feel strongly that Asian people need a safe place to be experiencing movement and their bodies without the public pressure placed on Asian people, particularly in America
