Dear Students:
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember that there will be no class on Thanksgiving day. For the remaining of 2015, I will teach upon request your favorite Awareness Through Movement class lesson, thus far. Contact me and explain the lesson as best as you can and I will teach it once again! I look forward to Repeating your Favorite Lesson!
I am excited to share a sweet video with you to help you understand what I mean when I say things like, “move slowly; gently & become curious about how you do this movement.” You will see a curious toddler teaching himself how to move up & down stairs in a more self pleasing way. This little fellow demonstrates what I am always trying to invoke in you. Take the time to watch this child show you how it is done! I can’t come close to expressing what you will see captured on this film!

The next time you come to Feldenkrais class remember how this little guy’s attention became captivated with his learning. When you explore with curiosity like this you will be able to figure out how to do whatever you desire!
The way this child explores movement is what Moshe Feldenkrais studied when he watched babies. Instinctively he knew that he had to teach people of all ages and ability levels, this way of exploring movement in order for them to succeed. Fortunately he was able to bring this philosophy to us through the Feldenkrais Method. I am so grateful!

An Avowed Dream Coming True:
I am proud to announce that I will be performing with Netco Modern Dance company for their upcoming season. Becoming a member of a dance company has been a dream in the making for me. As a teenager I was deathly afraid of stepping onto a dance floor yet I admired everyone dancing from the sidelines. After years of doing Feldenkrais I realized that I could learn to do what I desired. Now many dance classes later I will be dancing for the first time the amazing choreography of Jen Berlet’s at the Lancaster Country Day school on Nov. 21 & 22. Click here to find out the details.
“Health is the ability to realize our avowed and unavowed dreams.” –Moshe Feldenkrais
I am grateful to all of you for supporting me and allowing me to make a living teaching what I love to do! Happy Thanksgiving!
