Feldenkrais- Awareness Through Movement

These lessons designed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, use ingenious and gentle movements to promote efficient use of the whole self increasing brain function by stimulating learning.

They are interesting and fun while dramatically improving flexibility, coordination and balance, and helping to diminish pain and tension.  These classes have helped people with chronic pain, musculoskeletal problems such as back and neck pain, stiff shoulders or hips, repetitive stress injuries.

Testimonials:

I hobbled to my first appointment with Susan Miller.  An hour later, I walked smoothly to my car.  In the months since, I put away my cane, began long walks, and started dancing.  Learning to move with heightened awareness helps me release my crippling fears about back pain and Multiple Sclerosis and just see what I can do.  It turns out I can do much more than anyone, including me, dared to dream!  The joy in re-discovering one’s body must be experienced to be believed.  I would call Susan a miracle worker were it not that she teaches practical techniques that anyone can apply."

I've been taking Susan’s class for almost a year and a half. It has really become an important piece of my staying/becoming fit program. I’ve experienced several physical complications recently and it is the only practice along with meditation that I can continue throughout the acute recovery phases. I also experience significant easily observable body realignments after almost every class. I am addicted!

Susan is an incredible teacher.  I am learning so much about my body.

Thank You.
