I am using Zoom, which means that a recording of your session is included in the fee, and is yours to keep.
All group class fees are ‘suggested-rate-or-any-donation-welcome’
All booking is via direct contact with me, by email or phone call – all my contact details are here
Please note that a brief description of all my regular classes appears here first, and thus this list may not be in a sensible order, date-wise!
You will find more detailed descriptions of all my regular online classes on this page.
Awareness Through Movement Online Classes on Zoom
Tuesdays @ Noon
12 pm – 1.00 pm BST
£10 per class, or any donation welcome
This class is a general class and suitable for all levels of ability – we sometimes have time for a group chat afterwards for anyone who does not need to dash away. I find that these chats are very valuable for deepening all our understanding of what Feldenkrais is all about.
Thursdays @ 5pm
5pm – 6pm BST
This class will be on hiatus from May 29th for 8 weeks while I am teaching an online course for people with joint hypermobility issues – more information here…
This is a very gentle class and particularly suitable for anyone with chronic issues with injury, pain, or fatigue.
£10 per class, or any donation welcome
*Regular attendees will receive all the recordings even if they miss a class, and we are currently switching between 6pm and 5pm BST as is convenient for the majority of the attendees
These are ongoing classes, so the intention is for you to commit to attending on a regular basis: once a week is good, twice a week is better. Feldenkrais is about learning to learn; these are skills that you will develop over time with practice, and the benefits you will experience are also cumulative.
Potent Well-Being
Sensory Self-Awareness for Self-Healing
Wednesday Evenings
7–8.30 pm BST / 12–1.30 pm EDT
Online + Recording
£15 – or any donation welcome
These extended evening classes focus on my Feldenkrais-based self-healing strategies, and the recordings are intended to make it very easy for you to develop these skills for yourself. I am exploring the evening format with the intention of supporting better sleep as well as pain relief and self-calming. I do realise that those of you joining us for elsewhere at different times of day may not be looking for such a soporific experience!
*Please note that you can choose to join us for the first hour of the class only, as I am aware that may make joining the class regularly more manageable for you. The first hour of the class is an adapted Awareness Through Movement lesson, and after a short refreshment break we continue with a general discussion of any aspects of Inner Voice that interest us as a group.
BOOKING IS BY EMAIL – as it is for all my classes, courses and workshops!
Contact Details Here – if you want to reserve your place on this, or any of my online workshops. Please note that you can always let me know that you are interested in a particular workshop or course, and then confirm with me closer to the time, once you are certain.
SUMMER SCHOOL SCHEDULE
10-Day Immersive
A Deep Dive Into Your Senses
August 11th–15th & 18th–22nd
Online–Recordings & Notes included – or sign up for the recordings if you cannot join us live…
Times: 2–3.30pm BST ~ 9–10.30am EDT ~ 6–7.30am PDT
£200 (suggested fee, or any donation welcome)
People constantly refer to our ‘five senses’ – seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling – but those are just the senses for which we recognise related organ systems. Current science actually suggests we have anything from 9 to 33 distinct sensory processes, depending on how you organise them. Instead I identify five sensory systems that can be influenced directly by Awareness Through Movement – exteroceptive, kinaesthetic, proprioceptive, interoceptive, and ‘neuroceptive’
For those of us with chronic pains, muscular tensions, stresses, anxieties, sleep problems, chronic respiratory issues, or who feel blocked by our own ingrained habits, the more meditative aspects of Feldenkrais can be the most effective way to create long lasting improvements to our sense of physical and mental well-being.
This course will teach effective self-regulating skills you can perform anywhere. You will be learning to:
Expand your focus of attention – both externally and internally
Explore meditative movement – Feldenkrais as a body-mindfulness practice
Develop self-calming skills – using your nervous system to soothe your nervous system – drawing on breath, toning and enhancing your listening abilities
Discover sitting with ease – Learning to sit with lightness, balance and poise so that you can practice mindfulness in comfort will be a key part of this class
Become your own neuro-training device – the current emphasis on expensive gadgets for enhancing our nervous system’s capacity to self-monitor and self-regulate is outsourcing abilities we all have the potential to access naturally and directly through our own senses. One important advantage of training your natural sense-abilities in this way is that you begin to feel better straight away, long before you have actually mastered the skills you are practising.
A Testimonial…
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

Individual Vocal Training Sessions
Rather than lower my standard rate for one-to-one sessions online, which is £70 for a 75 minute session, I am offering one-to-one online sessions as “suggested fee or donation”, for the time being. The extra time is necessary for discussion and feedback. I can accept payments via BACS, and, if that is inconvenient for any reason, PayPal.
Functional Self-Integration Lessons
For anyone who cannot travel and for whom home-visits are too expensive you might like to consider individual online sessions – I am very happy to chat with you to see if we can work effectively this way.
*Suggested-fee-or-donation rate applies.
Many years ago I recorded a short lesson about breathing – here is a link to this lesson in the archive on the Feldenkrais UK Guild website – enjoy!
