Do you often trip over your own feet? Or have unexplained joint pain? Or joint weakness, dislocations, or frequent injuries? If so, you are not alone. You may be on the ‘Joint Hypermobility Spectrum.’ Hypermobility is a connective tissue condition that causes our ligaments and tendons to be looser than normal. This can undermine the stability of our joints and make our body’s support system less effective. Continues on the links provided…
Full details of this course are here, and on the links above – do not hesitate to ask me questions – contact information here – and do join us for the live chat which is coming up on MAY 9th at 6.30pm BST…

I am pleased to say I am getting great feedback about these Effortless Feldenkrais Daily Courses – this lovely letter came earlier this week:
Hi Maggy!
Thank you so very much for the course Effortless Sitting!
I have now started to repeat the course…because it has done a miracle with my sciatica!
From the first lesson my sciatica decreased …Before the course I had big problems…I could sit but not lie down…even in bed at night I had severe pain and I need to eat pain reliever to be able to sleep, at least some hours…I also had problems with walking….and all this had been going on for at least two month…
After the first lesson I could sleep without pain! Amazing!
Now, after the fifth lesson I have no pain from my sciatica…I’m sleepiing at night and I do not need pain reliever! This is a miracle!
Thank you so very much!
Kind regards
Christina Fagrell

My Potent Voice workshops are beneficial for:

Anyone dealing with chronic stress issues, or breathing problems/conditions
Anyone dealing with chronic tension in the face, tongue, jaw, neck, and throat
Anyone interested in meditation, chanting, and neural self-regulation
Anyone who feels that emotional inhibition is limiting their capacity for self-expression and self-assertion.

“Movement is all important. From cardiovascular health, bone density, joint functioning to central nervous system optimisation. For the health of each and every cell in your organism, to your mental wellbeing and overall happiness. Movement is life. And life is movement!“
Rodolfo R. Llinás, MD, PhD
…but the phrase was a big favourite with Moshe Feldenkrais as well – I wrote a blog post about it…
Live class, extra info: I have enough mats and head rests that you do not need to bring your own, however in our current situation I would prefer you bring along a clean sheet or towel to lay over your mat and any headrests you might use, until our current covid-19 precautions become unnecessary. Do bring anything else you need to make sure you are comfortable on the floor – some people like to bring an extra-soft pillow or a blanket with them. The space is lovely, with big windows but also well-supplied with radiators; as the class is now in the daytime we should not have any heating issues, nevertheless it may be worth bringing a couple of layers with you if you tend to get chilly when you relax.
Customised Workshops for Companies & Organisations
I am always happy to design a workshop for a specific purpose – good ergonomic self-use for office workers, good vocal self-use for performance communities, good performance skills for everyone – contact me to discuss what you would like.
