I was amazed by the simple and accessible approach Alex took in her Feldenkrais sessions. I have been healing rheumatoid arthritis for 18.5 years and was amazed to find more comfort and ease in my body after working with Alex. I felt celebrated to come as I was and felt very met in that place, and always looked forward to the next session!" - Alegra-Ray, Farmer, Dancer, & Death Doula

The Feldenkrais classes I have attended with Alex have been extremely beneficial. They have helped me be more aware of my body and it's patterns of tension. Alex has been a gracious, compassionate teacher: it is quite apparent that she believes in the power and message behind what she is teaching. And the classes are a peaceful, meditative respite from my everyday routine. Feldenkrais seems ideal for musicians, performers, dancers, etc. because it of how it gently encourages body awareness." - Jeremy Podgursky, DM, Composer/Musician
Who was Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais?
"Moshe Feldenkrais was a pivotal figure in the science of somatics. Grounded in physics, biology, and learning, his method remains the most advanced and comprehensive basis available for developing human potential." (A Life in Movement: The definitive biography of Moshe Feldenkrais)
“Genius, of the magnitude possessed by Moshe Feldenkrais, defies categorization… He could function at the highest level in nuclear physics, as a martial artist, as an inventor, as a developer of top-secret counterespionage projects, and as one of the most prescient observers of neuroscience.”
Norman Doidge, MD
