New Special Focus Course!
PERFECTING EVERYDAY MOTION
Maximizing the Impact of Actions that Count the Most
Join us online for five 90-minute weekly sessions
starting Monday March 11th at 12:30 PM EST via Zoom
Here’s something extraordinary:
The quality of your life depends greatly on the basic, ordinary actions you perform countless times daily in the middle range of motion, often on autopilot.
It’s the countless that counts here.
That’s why improving how you initiate and execute frequent everyday actions can benefit your musculoskeletal health, energy level, comfort, and mood as much as—perhaps more than—stretching or strengthening programs.
From ho-hum to aha!! in five transformative sessions:
- Transfers: Roll in bed, get up from bed, sit-to-stand.
- Bending and lifting: Do house chores, vacuum, wash and dry, get dressed, tie shoes, and even evacuate your bowels.
- Manipulating objects: Grasp, hold, handle, carry, and reach for an object; open doors; push and pull.
- Turning: Carriage and movements of your head and your whole body.
- Locomotion and balancing: Walk, balance, and stand.
Mastering these movements with coordination, balance, and grace also provides a platform for more advanced actions and sports.
This course is suitable for everyone:
- Those who struggle with daily activities.
- Those who want to experience more comfort, balance, and elegance in movement.
- Athletes, dancers, and musicians who are looking to fine-tune their skills.

What is the Feldenkrais Method?
Your movements are precious. They’re likely the most significant expression of your life.
How you move matters profoundly.
We employ the Feldenkrais Method to help you move better, way better!
The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle, slow, and meditative learning process based on your body’s natural movements.
The accent is on your first-hand experience, similar to the organic process you experienced when you were a baby, learning to roll over or make your first steps.
Guided verbally by Marek you perform precise movement sequences that lead to those “aha – that feels better” moments.
The gentle movements done with awareness improve your skeleton, muscles, and brain. They create healthy, graceful, precise, and deliberate motion! Watch how a better movement helps you relieve the pain, heal the injury, and be who you always wanted to be.
…I love the clarity of the explanations, the mix of theory and practice, and the encouraging and relaxed tone… these lessons have been very effective. Thanks so much.
Fine class. Teacher is sincere, methodical, patient and caring. He shares his depth of knowledge through diagrams, all the slow explorations, and his engaging question and answer periods at the end. During those periods he talks to his participants answering their questions at the levels of complexity that they can understand[…]
wonderful class and intro to Feldenkrais for me. I’m hooked. Both on content and on the way Marek teaches, with anatomy and concepts first so I can visualize where to feel and then the experiential component. Excellent class[…]
