I m a g i n e...

... moving with the effortless ease of your early childhood.

... participating in your favorite activities with greater flexibility and more efficient use of your body.

... dancing for the sheer joy of moving freely with grace.

If your imagination likes how it feels to move effortlessly, gracefully, efficiently, give your body the opportunity to experience that movement.

The Feldenkrais Method ® yields results from the first lesson. The Method is not an exercise program. You will, however, notice that you become more efficient in any exercise program you participate in. Yoga and T'ai Chi students are encouraged to explore how The Feldenkrais Method can enhance and improve their practice.

Functional Integration ® and Awareness Through Movement ® lessons are designed to improve flexibility, balance, and posture; enhance sensory awareness and self concept; reduce pain; and support the treatment of neurological, orthopedic, post-operative, and stress-related conditions.

Functional Integration (FI) is an individual lesson using gentle, non-invasive touch to guide learning. Individuals remain comfortably clothed to receive a lesson on a low padded table, or in a chair. Changes occur through information communicated by physically-directed awareness.

In Awareness Through Movement (ATM) ® lessons a group is verbally guided through a series of gentle, slow movements. As change occurs, old patterns of movement become more useful ones. You learn from your own body how to move with minimum effort.

Nancy Harden has been involved in Feldenkrais work since 1991 and became a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner in 2000. A licensed physical therapist since 1987, she has explored many forms of holistic healing since 1980.
