August: Woven in Time
A Tapestry of Movement
The great tapestries of old tell a story. At first, we see what we recognize, while much of the design remains hidden within the whole. As we continue looking, characters, gestures, and individual threads begin to reveal their significance. What was always present gradually comes to life.
Our movement is woven in much the same way. The hands, feet, knees, pelvis, spine, and eyes do not act as separate characters performing unrelated movements. Each participates in a larger composition shaped by experience, intention, adaptation, and time.
In this four-lesson Feldenkrais series, we will explore movements that turn, circle, bend, lift, and connect. The knees travel inward and outward. The hands and feet form a hoop as the body bends within it. The feet support the pelvis while movement travels along the spinal chain. The hands move behind the body, revealing unexpected relationships among the shoulders, ribs, spine, and pelvis.
Each lesson illuminates another part of the design. Movements that initially seem separate begin to reveal their place within a coherent story. As the unseen comes to life, the familiar becomes richer, the connections become clearer, and new possibilities can be woven into the way we move.
“Awareness does not create the tapestry. It illuminates the threads that were always there.” — Al Wadleigh
Along the way, you may discover that imagination is far more than fantasy. A clear internal image can improve coordination, refine your sense of effort, and reveal new possibilities for movement. As your self-image becomes richer and more complete, movement often becomes lighter, easier, and more efficient.
The Five Lessons
- AY 173 — Knees Inward Toward the Floor: Follow the inward turning of the legs and discover how it is carried through the hip joints, pelvis, spine, ribs, and head.
- AY 174 — Knees Outward Toward the Floor: Explore the complementary outward movement and the changing relationships among the legs, pelvis, back, and breath.
- AY 43 — Lifting the Pelvis on Standing Feet: The Spinal Chain Discover how pressure through the feet lifts the pelvis and travels along the spine, organizing the body as an interconnected chain.
- AY 220 — Hands Behind: Bring the hands into the unseen space behind you and uncover new relationships among the arms, shoulders, ribs, spine, and pelvis.
Join me for Woven in Time and discover what comes to life when awareness illuminates the hidden connections within your movement. Each lesson offers another way to see, sense, and inhabit the story that is still being woven through you.
Register today and take your place within the unfolding tapestry.

Al’s February 22, 2022 lesson culminated in a whole-body side stretch that can only be described as exquisitely calming and healing. Usually, side-lying lessons are painful for me due to arthritis of my pelvis, and my hips often feel like they’ve wandered off by themselves to experience that pain.This lesson left my entire pelvis feeling loose, mobile, quiet and present in my awareness. I’m always grateful for Al’s insights at the end of a lesson, and those of the other students. As always, my gratitude!
I find the weekly class restore my sense of body movement. Al’s voice and word choice makes it easy to follow during the instructions.
Al’s lessons are wonderfully uplifting, literally and figuratively. I often walk much taller with much more awareness, pleasure, and grace. Thank you!
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!
