'I have lived with daily pain for so long that I cannot adequately
express the feeling of "no pain" and "quality movement".
The no pain moments are extending to longer periods of time and I truly
relish it. If it makes any sense, Feldenkrais has helped me to develop
space between my body and movement, whereas movement used to impact
so greatly on my physical body and, in turn, my state of mind. My overall
wellbeing is greatly enhanced by this one hour at the loft each week.
Cheers!' - Mandy Roney

as she prepares us with knowledge about our bodies, taking us step by

movement and general idiosyncrasies has helped me each day. I love the
whole approach that Feldenkrais brings to understanding and changing
the way I live, breathe and move.' - Linda Blythe

Jodie's classes in particular have been most helpful - I remember my

able to keep it up. She has a great easy style.' - Theo Nabben
