Meet Kat, Feldenkrais & Somatic Teacher
All my life I felt I had to achieve. Do better, be more... Then I came across Feldenkrais. Suddenly I was asked to do less, to sense more, to just move for pleasure. I struggled! Not to try to achieve? Just enjoy moving for the sake of moving? I was suspicious.... But at the end of the class the magic happened: I did achieve more and it felt easy, pleasurable and sensual.
After that first class I was hooked. I eventually trained as a Feldenkrais practitioner and in a number of other somatic practices. I'm hooked on that playfulness, sensuality and pleasure! Plus, my body feels fitter and my mind calmer.
Feldenkrais also supported me through menopause and cancer treatment, cured my long-standing digestive health issues and helped me with intimate health issues.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FELDENKRAIS METHOD
The Feldenkrais Method was developed by Moshe Feldenkrais after a knee injury. He realized that injuries are often caused or made worse by the body not working effectively. Feldenkrais teaches us the re-learn better functional movement by re-learning to make better movement choices.
Here are a few physical and emotional benefits:
Holistic whole Body approach
Feldenkrais always works with the whole body not just the "problem" area.
This whole body approach improves coordination, balance and posture naturally without effort.
It also allows us to feel like a full person rather than just a patient!
awareness & mindfulness
Feldenkrais emphasises sensory-motor experience, that is, awareness of our movements and patterns of tension.
This can be particularly useful for anyone with chronic pain, such as back pain or other issues related to muscular imbalances or postural issues, as well as digestive and pelvic floor issues.
Ease & enjoyment
Feldenkrais emphasises ease and curiosity rather than achievement.
Effort, posture and movement should be appropriate to the situation.
By emphasising awareness and ease, Feldenkrais teaches us how to use the appropriate movement, posture and effort for the action. This makes moving easier - but also living!
AND THAT'S NOT ALL:
The mindful nature of the Feldenkrais Method can also lead to a more developed sense of self and thereby help us realise our full potential - in life, not just on the mat.
What does "a more developed sense of self" mean? Feldenkrais argues that our self-image is composed of four parts - sensing, feeling, thinking and moving. All of these influence the way we think about ourselves, how we see our relationships with others and how we act and react in the world.
Feldenkrais and somatic movement can help us explore our sense of self, widen it to include more of ourselves. This is not just limited to movement and our physical self but also to our mind. I have seen how Feldenkrais and somatics has helped many people overcome self-limiting beliefs. These practices can help us become more confident and more creative. They can help us accept ourselves and tap into our inner power, build better relationships and help us live our dreams.
“Make the impossible possible, the possible easy, the easy elegant.” Moshe Feldenkrais
