Feldenkrais Online Classes
Awareness Through Movement®
Al's Online Feldenkrais Classes
Feldenkrais online classes — Awareness Through Movement (ATM) — use verbally guided movement explorations comprised of novel combinations of movements and awareness that improve your overall abilities.
Dr. Feldenkrais understood that most movement habits are outside our conscious awareness. Meaning we do them, but we don't know how we do them. ATM lessons bring into awareness the how of our movement. As you become aware of your habits in the lessons, we explore variations that introduce new ways of moving that are more harmonious with your intentions. Meaning you can do more of what you want to do with greater ease and purpose.
This translates into improved balance, more comfortable movement, less pain, more flexibility, better reaction time, enhanced awareness, reduced stress, and more fluid movements.
And the secondary benefits are feeling more confident, comfortable, harmonious about what you are doing, and having a better outlook on life.

I absolutely LOVE this phenomenal class!!! Thanks to this class; I’m experiencing real, substantial relief (from pain) for the first time. This class transforms you from the inside out. The instructor does a fantastic job. His mastery on the subject translates into an extremely smooth and expertly guided lesson. I’m both amazed and satisfied with how much progress I have already made. This class is more than worth it; take the dive, try it out!
