The Feldenkrais Centre

The centre offers group classes, workshops, and private lessons, so a newcomer can usually start with a group class before committing to one-on-one work. Calling ahead to ask which upcoming class suits a beginner is the smoothest way in.

The work comes in two forms: group Awareness Through Movement classes and hands-on Functional Integration sessions. Both use slow, guided movement to ease tension and help you move with less effort.

No prior experience is needed and the lessons use no special equipment, just slow comfortable movement. Wear loose clothing and mention any trouble getting on and off the floor when you book.
