Anna has practised and studied mindfulness meditation since 1996 and came across the Feldenkrais Method after injuring her back in 2010. She was amazed by the positive benefits (pain managment as well as stress reduction) when other modalities weren't able to help.

Testimonials:

“The Feldenkrais Method introduced the idea that gentle movements together with breathing and posture awareness would leave me with greater flexibility and coordination. It’s true! My balance has improved and this has stropped the sensation I had of falling.” Janene Annables (Retired school teacher)

"After each Feldenkrais session, I feel much more flexible, lighter, and taller. I find the classes give me fascinating new insights into how my body works and how to fine-tune all the different parts of my body using small and gentle movements. Anna has extensive technical knowledge, and makes sure all her students feel comfortable and adjusts movements and classes to suit our bodies and needs. Anna's Qigong and Tai Chi classes have also been very beneficial. They compliment the Feldenkrais very well, one is more fluid, and the other is very precise. It has been great having the one teacher, in Anna who can teach both, because it means that she is more familiar with my strengths, weaknesses and needs. Many thanks Anna."
