Curiosity, Compassion & Transformation

12 Week Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement Series with Tiffany Sankary & Matty Wilkinson

In person and/ or online

Curiosity is where learning begins.

Compassion allows us to be present to ourselves in the moment.

In Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons we explore our embodied experience of these qualities in movement and rest, intention and action.

When we bring kindness and curiosity to our habitual ways of sensing, moving and doing, new possibilities emerge.

When we embrace our embodied/moving self in the present moment and integrate our new learning we become more flexible in body, mind and in our lives.

“Curiosity is a sign of health in man and in animal.” -Moshe Feldenkrais

This is for:

• People who are new to the Feldenkrais Method

• Those with experience that want to deepen their practice

• People in pain or who have lost mobility.

• Musicians, dancers, artists, performers who want to expand their options

• People who are looking for a gentle entry into being in their bodies

What people are saying:

Artists

“Feldenkrais is so good.  I feel very grounded, rejuvenated, happy, conscious and at ease; Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually. One of the main things I feel is high self esteem and lots of confidence.” 
-Shami Orkibi, Art Teacher & Dancer

“At the end of my first class, I felt taller and calmer, and as I continued taking classes for the next few months I saw great improvements. My spine was straighter, I didn't wake up with so many aches in my back and hips, I was way less clumsy."
-Beth B., Artist  

"Feldenkrais was the perfect pathway towards healing my chronic back pain." -Mary

Bodyworkers/ Healers

"After my first class, my partner noticed a shift in my appearance; he became curious about how something I described as subtle, could work so dramatically..." -Naomi U.

"How fortunate am I to have found Feldenkrais practitioner Tiffany Sankary. Her sensitive, intelligent hands, her body wisdom, and careful lucid teaching have helped me learn about, understand, change, and liberate my mind and body from more pain and unwanted limitations in the past year more than anything I’ve done in the past 54 altogether. " -Clair Wings

"I’m inspired by the work you do, on all fronts, and the not perfect, growing approach you take. A great model for all of us." -Judith Morse, retired massage therapist

Dancers

"I enjoyed the nature of the classes very much. They helped me to become a better observer of my own body and mind. I am more aware of how my body has moved unconsciously and how this can change -- It is a very introspective process and one of the best ways to develop body intelligence."
- Mr. Kim, Dancer

 "I recommend Tiffany's class to anyone interested in movement, dance or overall health." - Mark Smith, Sr. Audio Engineer, STC Productions

More...

“I was completely in AWE of myself and this observation of a kind of effortlessness I've never known, but maybe have always longed for."  -Kathy

“Tiffany provides a gentle rigor – her enthusiasm is matched with clarity.”

“I am so grateful for Tiffany’s skilled teaching.  After only a few classes, I feel stronger, better coordinated, more graceful, more aware of my body’s capabilities. I love Feldenkrais!” 

“I felt so much more comfortable in my body, so lightweight and floaty, particularly in my neck. Simply moving around space seemed easier, like I was exerting less effort than I normally do.” -Emily Murcko, Student, Lesley University, Counseling 

PRACTICE IN COMMUNITY

If you have experienced the Feldenkrais Method you know the power of the process. It is life changing. (And if you are new to the method, welcome!) 

One way to keep the practice alive and  integrate it into all areas of your life is to do it regularly. Even though we may practice alone, there is power in doing the lessons within a group context. Practicing in community supports your deepening awareness, adding a richness and encouragement to show up more fully.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED FOR THE ONLINE CLASSES:

• some space on the floor to lie down or sit (depending on the lesson)

• a mat or blanket

• a computer or phone

We will use conferencing software called Zoom. It is super easy to use, even for those not comfortable with computers. You have the option to turn your video camera on or off during the class at any time. You can also access the classes via telephone. Everyone will receive a copy of the recorded live classes, so if you need to miss a class you will still be able to practice.
