Back pain? Repetitive Strain Injury?
Feldenkrais Can Help
FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION
Feldenkrais work is the most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention and reversal of deterioration of function.
— Margaret Mead, Anthropologist
If you develop skill, you don’t need will power
When I work with people individually, I help them discover the habits and holding patterns which contribute to stiffness, restriction, and pain. We can interrupt those patterns and introduce enjoyable movements which support greater freedom, better physical action, and produce less stress on your muscles and joints. Individual sessions are customized specifically to your needs, so you can progress quickly and easily and start feeling more at home in your body right away.
AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT
Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.
— Moshe Feldenkrais, PhD.

Appropriate for all ages and fitness levels.
Student Testimonials
When I was on Worker’s Comp with a back injury, I saw chiropractors, physical therapists, and neurologists. There was only one person who showed me how to function with my back. That person was Jean Elvin.
I loved this lesson. My movement felt very graceful and afterwards it felt very graceful and when I was walking it felt effortless. Before the lesson, I was very tense and my leg and spine were hurting quite badly.
The edges are gone. I feel more like a slinky when I walk.
I feel like this class has made me experience parts of my body that hadn’t had much attention in a long time. I feel more aware of how I hold my body while sitting in a chair, while driving my car, or standing. I used to slouch more!
Healthy activity, made just for you.
