“I have to say, despite feeling rather odd directly after leaving the clinic, then an intensity of discomfort in my neck later that evening, the following day I felt really different, and for the better. My neck pain and tension has improved massively, almost completely gone. The numbness in my hands has lessened, so to has my shoulder pain. Also the pins and needles have almost gone. I feel lighter too, if that makes sense. I also had a very emotional reaction to Feldenkrais, which did concern me somewhat, but then I came home and read about this and I now understand that some people do have strong emotional responses to Feldenkrais and that this shouldn’t concern me as our physical self, thoughts and emotions are all connected. It could also be my response to someone being kind and doing something for me personally, the relaxation of being supported and the slow movement of the awareness lesson.”

”I tried Feldenkrais because i wanted to find an easier and simpler way of connecting to body – differently from ashtanga and swimming. I was also experiencing pain in pelvis and hip (arthritic tendency).
I liked spending the time and giving attention to the mild movements that do change something in my body. My body feels released & easy & can actually quietly sit in my body. My pelvis feels lighter and more connected to my legs, feet – joints move lighter and more supple. Breath also feeling more connected and gentle.”
