Inside Matters

I am delighted to be working with Feldenkrais Access again, this time with a version of my ring muscles lesson series that is longer and deeper than I have ever been able to offer you before.

This 6-week course will include more breathing work, and more core awareness and integration material.

I am looking forward to exploring the connections between our internal “plumbing” and the different ways we use our spine to move both in and through space – and water! At the moment there is an early bird rate on offer, and it is available right through to February 20th.

PLEASE NOTE YOU CANNOT BOOK THIS COURSE THROUGH ME, YOU WILL NEED TO CLICK ON THE LINKS INCLUDED, BUT YOU CAN COME TO ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE COURSE.

More information from Feldenkrais Access:

Feldenkrais Access is delighted to present a six-week series with guest Feldenkrais Teacher Maggy Burrowes, designed to help us improve the coordination of the internal structures that keep oursensesand organs, the movements of our spine, and our internal “plumbing” in good working order.

Throughout the body, systems of ring muscles (sphincters) and sheet muscles (diaphragms) are constantly in motion, working together to organize our breathing, digestion, and circulation. Together with the powerful muscles of our spine, our ring and sheet muscle systems form our true “core,” and attending to these systems can offer tremendous therapeutic benefits.

The Feldenkrais lessons in this series will help you to tune up your respiratory and digestive systems, improve the functioning of your eyes, throat, and pelvic floor, create greater freedom and ease in your vocal structures, and improve the movement coordination of your head, spine, and pelvis.

This class series will give you:

New ways to improve issues related to continence
Greater freedom and ease of breathing
Better organization of your tongue and throat
Greater ease in your facial muscles, including those of your eyes and mouth
Improved understanding of your larynx and vocal structures
A stronger and more integrated sense of your inner “core”

“Your guidance, structure, and pacing were exquisite. I’ve explored some of these areas inside myself, but not to this depth!”

A first Experience Of Feldenkrais

I did not know what to expect from, or after the first Feldenkrais workshop I attended. I found the sequences gentle and relaxing. It was liberating and exhilarating to feel different parts of my head, neck and shoulders moving independently – as they did so there was a sense that they were strengthening. During the course I learnt that these gentle movement lessons could heal pain experienced in the body. I was, at the time, experiencing discomfort in my knees when going downstairs. I was also experiencing pain in my right shoulder which had begun approximately three weeks before the workshop.

The day after I was completely free of pain, both in my shoulder and my knees. I walked downstairs in a way which would be considered usual as a way of descending stairs. I had not descended stairs in this way for approximately three years. I had either relied heavily on the handrail for support, or taken the steps one at a time – how wonderful it was to be pain free.

Embodied Voice – an attendee’s experience…

“Thanks very much for your wonderful voice course. I am still working through the material and have a much larger range at each end of the scale. It was really interesting to have speech contextualised into its effect on laryngeal movement and brought me a new awareness in that area and a sense of how voice production affects the diaphragm and its attachments to the spine, rather than just the other way round.

The untrammelled, quite deep (for me) voice that your workshop gave me at the end was gratifying but it changed into something different later. Your workshop also changed my listening. Yes it it true that I still sing out of tune (I can hear it now) but I had an experience towards the end of your workshop – I stepped out of the passageway from the studio into the street and all the cars and trucks and drills and birdsong were a symphony! It was so weird – I never usually listen much let alone savour such sounds and I certainly never realised they were all at different pitches. I must stress that I am not musical and this was not my usual perception of the world.
