Individual lesson are performed with the student lying on a low table. The Feldenkrais teacher communicates to the student, client, who is fully clothed, using gentle, non-invasive touch. You learn how to move in easier ways. The goal is to gently re-awaken the students capacity to relax into movement, that it not necessary for muscles to work all the time. Activating muscles only when they are needed to move bones makes it possible to move with less effort, more grace, and ease.
Deborah tailors each lesson to a student's intentions, desires, and capabilities. Collaboration and communication between Deborah and her students is paramount to the learning process.
