"Aliza's intelligence and commitment make her a real master of the Feldenkrais Method. As a classical musician, I suffered chronic pain for several years and Aliza helped eradicate it within months. Aliza Stewart and the Feldenkrais Method changed my life." - Heather Storeng, violist
"Oh wow, thank you! I couldn't make it to the live session, but after exploring with the recording, I find so much more freedom and lightness in my right hip joint as I walk. Rotation inwards is something that I've found challenging for my right leg and now, so much improvement!"
"so wonderful! such detail to evoke movement is beautiful! lengthening (for me)first creates the shift of weight. Lifting before the length wakes up my muscles, both important . I am loving this whole series. Thank you, and great questions!"
