4 Feldenkrais® classes
Join us online (Zoom) for 4 classes with a practical exploration of how the eyes, jaw, tongue, breathing, and spine function together—and how unnecessary effort can begin to drop away.
(Tuesday evenings, class recordings available)
Modern life places a steady demand on the eyes. Hours at a screen, a fixed distance, a narrow field of attention—over time, the body adapts.
The head comes forward, the back rounds, and the shoulders follow. The neck tightens, the chest sinks, and breathing becomes more restricted. At the same time, the jaw often begins to tighten, the tongue presses, and the eyes lose some of their freedom to move.
This is not a set of isolated issues. You may notice it as tired eyes, a tight face, clenching in the jaw, or a sense that even when you stop, something in you doesn’t quite “let go”.
Most approaches try to correct this from the outside—through posture, stretching, or trying to relax.
In this series, we take a different approach:
Rather than correcting, we explore how the system organizes itself—and how it can learn something new.
What Happens in Class
Through gentle, guided Feldenkrais lessons, you will begin to sense how the eyes, jaw, tongue, breathing, and spine function together as one integrated system.
The classes are entirely experiential. You will be lying on the floor (or maybe sitting) and I will guide you through movements that lead to ever increasing ease and wellness. Here’s an example:
As this becomes clearer, changes often emerge naturally. A small shift in how the eyes move may soften the jaw. Freeing the tongue can alter breathing. When the face is no longer holding tension, the spine becomes more available.
These are not techniques to apply, but experiences that lead your body to change itself.
What you may notice
Participants report that seeing becomes clearer and less effortful, the mouth rests more easily, and the face softens.At the same time, the effects are not limited to the face. The neck and back can lengthen, turning becomes easier, and movement feels less constrained. You have a wider field of attention, and a sense of being more available.You discover you have more choices: to attend narrowly or broadly; to tighten when you need it – and let go when not.
Over four classes, you will:
- recognize early signs of visual and jaw strain
- allow the eyes to move with greater ease
- release habitual holding in the jaw and mouth
- reconnect breathing with movement and attention
- rediscover a sense of ease that extends through the whole body
Who this is for
This series is well suited if you:
-
- spend significant time at a screen
- notice tension in your face, jaw, or eyes
- experience clenching, grinding, or visual fatigue
- get tension headaches
- are interested in learning through direct experience rather than correction
What is included:
- 4 Feldenkrais® evening classes (online)
- Recordings you can download and use anytime
- You will be guided verbally – no prior experience needed
This is not about fixing the eyes or the jaw.
It is about discovering how much effort has become unnecessary—and what becomes possible when that effort drops away.
