The Feldenkrais Method® influences the neurological patterns that determine our movement. We can re-experience movement patterns that we may have "forgotten" and so improve our repertoire of movement.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in September 2014 at age 59.
I tried the recommended Tai Chi and PD Warriors classes, but unfortunately both were too physically hard for me.
Looking for some other form of exercise I started Pilates, which I still enjoy, but I was / am always was looking for something more.
When I joined Wendy’s Feldenkrais classes in 2015, I hoped to find some relief from my body’s stiffness and pains. After the first session, I didn’t think I was getting much from it. How on earth could these small movements, mostly on one side of the body, help me? Would I be able actually stand up and walk home at all?
But to my absolute astonishment I was amazed with my movements as I walked across the room after the class. My body was definitely moving differently and without pain and stiffness. And from then I was hooked.
My advice to anyone considering Feldenkrais is . . . try it! Don’t be put off by fear or scepticism, wondering “will this really work for me?”
It will.
Wendy is a great teacher, individually correcting our postures during the sessions, which I personally find very helpful. You will meet lovely people, but most of all, you will find relief from pain and stiffness and thus improve your posture”.
