September: The Floor is Our Teacher
When we lie on the floor, we no longer have to organize ourselves against gravity in the usual way. The floor supports us, gives us clear feedback, and makes it easier to notice where we are working harder than necessary.
During September, we will explore a varied collection of Awareness Through Movement® lessons connected by this simple idea: the floor can help us discover softer, clearer, and more adaptable ways of moving.
“The floor as a teacher. The problem isn’t muscular; it is the ‘command mechanism’ (the nervous system), which is why you do not improve through exercise alone. Only the floor can teach a person to hold his back softly so he can roll without any pain.”
—Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, Alexander Yanai Lesson 31, “Lifting in Thought, on the Stomach”
Join us this September and discover what becomes possible when the support of the floor allows you to move with less effort and greater ease.
What My Students Are Saying
Al’s lessons are wonderfully uplifting. I walk taller, with more awareness and grace.”

This class transforms you from the inside out. I’m amazed by how much progress I’ve made.” — Jessica
I didn’t know I’d get a transformation. I was just looking for relief!”
— Lea Murray
Why Choose Feldenkrais Lessons?
Rather than teaching static postures, Feldenkrais lessons help your nervous system learn more efficient, coordinated movement through gentle explorations—on the floor, in supported positions, and always at your own pace.
These lessons are open to anyone who wants to discover new possibilities and
explore new ways of moving.
Reserve your place today and spend September exploring how the floor is your teacher.
Join us live each Tuesday or learn at your own pace with the class recordings.

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!

A wonderful class to develop a new awareness of movement and how neuro pathways can be strengthened. I have much less back and hip pain when hiking or gardening.

I really enjoy the learning experiences in this floor class as it demonstrates how I habitually use my body in certain ways. On occasion, it seems to bring me sensations that are almost meditative in their pleasantry and breath aspects that allow me to focus on non-cerebral states of somatic awareness given Al’s soothing and relaxing speech habits that guide us. The after-effects of Al’s classes encourage me to think more about posture, breath control, balance and doing more with my body’s non-dominant side to help alleviate some physical problems. I look forward to attending these classes virtually or in person again some day.

I have really enjoyed Al’s chair classes because he selects lessons that help all kinds of movement, and his teaching is very creative, comprehensive, and precise. Al takes good care of each of his students. I have learned a lot and look forward to continuing with his classes.

I have been taking Feldenkrais classes for several years. I have osteoarthritis and this practice works well for me. I always feel better and more flexible after class. I feel it has helped me to maintain a more active life. I’m grateful to be able to attend classes again. Marty B

Al’s lessons well paced and his directions are easy to follow. After two months of weekly classes, my posture and balance have improved and my lower back pain has nearly vanished.
