Jodie Krantz completed segment 3 of the Bones for Life Training programme for the second time. Jodie also ran an introductory workshop on the Feldenkrais Method for approximately 20 Physiotherapists at Hollywood Hospital.

September 2011 Feldenkrais Discovery Day was held at St Catherine's College at the University of Western Australia on 17th September. Jodie Krantz is a WA committee member of the Australian Feldenkrais Guild and helped to organise the workshop which was presented by the Guild. Participants were able to choose from a selection of different workshop topics. This gave them a practical experience of this innovative method of improving posture, movement and body awareness. The wide range of interesting topics included 'Cycling with Ease and Power', 'Natural Facelift', 'Sitting Pretty at your Computer', 'Free your Hips (and release your inner dancer!' and 'Move over Anxiety'.

A very warm 'thank you' to Cat Ryan, who taught our Wednesday night Studio classes in Term 2, while managing to juggle a lot of other commitments, including a full-time job at the Mercy Hospital Mt Lawley. We are so sorry to see Cat go, as she is a skilled and intuitive Physiotherapist and Pilates teacher. Her sunny nature makes her an absolute delight to work with. We hope you'll be back one day Cat. All the staff at Free to Move wish you the very best – health, wealth and happiness.

Jodie Krantz traveled as a volunteer Physiotherapist to the province of Tamil Nadu in southern India. Here she spent 2 weeks in Tiruchiparelli (Trichy) with a team of doctors, nurses, physios, dentists and opticians, providing much needed health service to extremely poor villagers. The trip was exceptionally well organised by Equal Health, a non-government organisation based in East Perth.
