Age with Agility!

How agile is your body? Your mind?

Without realizing it, people damage the body by using brute force in actions and pushing through pain. Misuse, accidents, abuse, injury and internal illness result in stress, fatigue, imbalance and chronic pain. A consequent feeling of being stuck can limit one further. You have the ability to direct your own improvement and Margot teaches you how.

The simple movement sequences of the Feldenkrais Method teach you how to move more efficiently, creating new neurological pathways, and new habits that reduce limitations. People of all ages and states of health are welcome and will benefit. Private lessons are tailored to the individual and group classes accommodate wide ranges of ability.

Through the Feldenkrais Method you can replace aches and pains with pleasure, and do the things you love to do. By working with Margot individually or in a group, you will learn what you do that exacerbates pain or difficulties, and the steps to take to live more comfortably. Learn how to reduce pain, increase flexibility, improve balance, reduce strain and fatigue and improve concentration.

“The important thing is to be able to function as a human being and not like a machine and not be pulled and pushed from the outside more than its really necessary. If you are ready to learn, you can achieve a better performance than you ever did in your youth.” Moshe Feldenkrais

Recover from Injury

Is injury, surgery or stroke, limiting what you do? You can make improvements.

Whether injuries are recent or old, each is unique. Injuries can cause long term pain, fatigue, tension and restricted movement.  Secondary problems such as compensations create additional challenges. Margot teaches you how to direct your own improvement and recover more fully from the affects of injury, surgery or stroke. By learning new ways to attend to yourself, you manage pain, increase stamina, relieve tension and move more easily. You improve flexibility, balance, and coordination, creating the option to live more comfortably.

The simple movement sequences of Feldenkrais open new neurological pathways in your brain, creating new habits of movement and reducing limitations. People of all ages and states of health are welcome and will benefit. Private lessons are tailored to the individual; group classes accommodate those with varied kinds of injury. Enjoy moving through your life again!

“Health is measured, not by the capacity to stay standing, but by the ability to be knocked down and then return to standing.”                       -Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

Excel in Performance

Are you a high-achiever, athlete or artist? What do you want to be able to do better?

The creators in the human world live on an edge where one decision or action can make or break a situation – aesthetic, business, life or career. For athletes, musicians, artists, surgeons and other achievers, Feldenkrais guides you in refining physical and mental performance, and releasing limiting habits. By working with Margot individually or in a group setting, learn how to reduce limitations and to increase your sensitivity and precision in your greatest skills. Move more efficiently, decrease running times, expand range of motion without reducing strength; create the capacity for new responses to circumstances.

Margot takes you through a process of the body teaching the brain through varied articulations of the skeleton, freeing more potential, to experience new ways of sensing, thinking and feeling – and more efficient movement. You will learn to reduce stress and move more easily from any position - physical, mental or emotional, how to mobilize your breath, increase concentration and spontaneity, and achieve effortless action.

Every artist or high-achiever has a lifetime of aesthetic and pragmatic decisions.  Learn more about the impetus of your actions, increase your creative options, overcome a sense of being stuck or on a plateau. What is the flow between creative work and the rest of life – personal, family, emotional, spiritual, academic, professional? You can make the balance in life more relative to your needs and wants, and more pleasurable or satisfying. Private lessons with Margot are tailored to you individually, and group classes accommodate a multitude of abilities.

“To make the impossible, possible; the possible, easy; and the easy, elegant.” -Moshe Feldenkrais
