Classes & Retreats
Feldenkrais classes and individual sessions (lessons) help you to discover many more movement options that will not only help you feel far more comfortable, but you will also help you feel unusually uplifted and more free on many levels, not merely the physical.
Awareness Through Movement group classes
Simple, comfortable, easy movements increase in range and complexity only as you are ready
The Awareness Through Movement classes help you to discover many more movement options that are not only comfortable, but feel unusually wonderful and freeing. You will learn new ways of moving while increasing ease, flexibility and range of movement. Victoria leads these lessons primarily to groups. Lessons last 50 minutes, and are usually organized around a particular function. You will learn movements you can then do on your own at home. Even 5 minutes a day will make a big difference in your comfort and ease of movement. For all ages and all abilities.

If you want your walking to be more graceful and coordinated, if you would like to feel a more upright posture, or, if you have injuries or neurological challenges that impair your walking . . . this retreat will give you tools to help you to walk with more ease and support everyday.
In this retreat, we will begin to explore unused options for coordinated movement that allows for more efficiency and less over-use. This allows our organism to experience new options. Our brain always chooses ease when it is given the options and experience of ease.
Please buy (or bring) a pair of walking poles to this retreat. Buy, or bring, poles with shock absorbers and be sure to bring the rubber tips for walking inside. (Sam’s in Hadley has a good selection.) We hope to be both inside and outside weather permitting. Dress comfortably, and in layers, for lying, sitting and walking. Mats for movement explorations are provided. Also, do bring your own water. Restaurants are nearby for lunch from 1:30-3:00.
Thank you for arriving to all retreats 15-20 minutes early so we can settle in and begin at the starting time.
