In person Workshop Comfort: Less Effort, Better Organisation
Sunday 28 June 2026
This in-person workshop will be held at Yoga Lyfe and will run from 12–3pm.
The afternoon will include:
Two Awareness Through Movement® lessons
A guided talk and shared discussion
The focus of this workshop is Comfort — exploring how reducing unnecessary effort can support clearer organisation, greater ease, and more comfortable movement. Through gentle, guided movement, there will be opportunities to notice how the body organises itself when force is reduced.
It is an opportunity to explore these ideas within the support of a group, allowing learning to unfold through shared presence and individual experience.
The workshop is suitable for a wide range of bodies and movement experiences. No prior experience with the Feldenkrais Method is required.
Light afternoon tea will be provided.

Online Class Series: Finding Your Hip Joints
Thursday 2 July 2026
Finding Your Hip Joints — A 6-Class Series
Many of us have only a vague sense of our hip joints, often moving from the lower back, pelvis or legs without clearly sensing where the leg meets the pelvis. This 6-week online series explores how greater awareness of the hip joints can influence comfort, coordination and ease throughout the whole self.
Through gentle Feldenkrais lessons, we will explore the relationship between the legs, hip joints and pelvis. As these relationships become clearer, the lower back often has less work to do, allowing walking, bending and everyday movement to feel lighter and more comfortable.
Together, we will explore how sensing the hip joints more clearly can influence balance, mobility and the organisation of the whole self.
No experience needed — just a willingness to explore with curiosity.
Thursdays, 7:45–8:30pm (Zoom opens 7:35pm for settling in)
Starting July 2nd
Runs for 6 consecutive Thursdays
Online via Zoom (same link weekly)
Recordings available (speaker view on request)
Wear comfy clothes; use a mat or blanket and a small pillow.
Online Class Series: Sensing the Spine
Thursday 14 May 2026
Sensing the Spine — A 6-Class Series
Over time, the spine can become something we move around rather than something we sense. This 6-week online series explores how ease and coordination emerge when the spine is more clearly felt as part of the whole self.
Through gentle Feldenkrais lessons, experience how different parts of the spine relate to each other, and to the ribs, pelvis, and head. As this coordination becomes clearer, unnecessary effort can begin to reduce and movement becomes more adaptable.
Classes will include small, comfortable movements that invite clarity, improve organisation, and support a more connected sense of the spine in action.
No experience needed — just a willingness to explore with curiosity.
Thursdays, 7:45–8:30pm (Zoom opens 7:35 for settling in)
Starting May 14th
Runs for 6 consecutive Thursdays.
Please note: Week 6 will be held on Tuesday instead of Thursday

Online Class Series: Light Shoulders, Open Chest
Thursday 19 March 2026
Light Shoulders, Open Chest — A 6-Class Series
Over time, the shoulders can begin to carry more than their share of effort. This 6-week online series explores how lightness in the shoulders and openness through the chest emerge when the arms are supported by the ribs and spine.
Through gentle Feldenkrais lessons, experience how the ribs, shoulder blades, spine, and arms can share effort more intelligently. As coordination improves, reaching feels lighter and the chest more available.
Classes will include small, comfortable movements that invite clarity, improve organisation, and create a stronger sense of connection through the upper body.
No experience needed — just a willingness to explore with curiosity.
Thursdays, 7:45–8:30pm AEDT (Zoom opens 7:35 for settling in).
***Please note for this series only - Week 3 will be held on Tuesday March 31st instead of Thursday April 2nd ***

Online Class Series - Carrying the Head Lightly: Neck Ease
Thursday 15 January 2026
Carrying the Head Lightly: Gentle Explorations for Neck Freedom — A 6-Class Series
This 6-week online series explores how ease in the neck and head emerges when movement is supported through the whole self. Habitual postures, sitting, and everyday tension patterns can create compression and stiffness, affecting comfort, orientation, and breathing.
Through gentle Feldenkrais lessons, experience how the ribs, spine, shoulders, and pelvis can share effort more evenly. As the body begins to move in a coordinated way, the neck softens, turning becomes easier, and the head feels more naturally supported.
Classes will include small, comfortable movements that invite release, improve organisation, and create a clearer sense of connection through the upper body. These explorations may also offer relief for those noticing tension around the face or head.
No experience needed — just a willingness to explore with curiosity.

Pathways to Embodiment In-Person Workshop
Sunday 7 December 2025
This two-part in person workshop series explores how the nervous system organises action, shaping how we move, balance and adapt. Each session includes two Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes and a guided group discussion, blending practice with reflection.
Inward – Workshop 1: Finding Your Centre
Centre is not a fixed point but a dynamic reference we can return to. The nervous system continually seeks equilibrium, providing stability without rigidity and supporting adaptability and ease.
Outward – Workshop 2: Navigating Transitions
Everyday transitions become opportunities for exploration. Curiosity and variation help the nervous system adapt with confidence and lightness, supporting our ability to move outward into the world.
Workshops can be taken separately, but doing both offer a more complete experience of inward and outward exploration.

Online Class Series - Opening Through Movement
Thursday 13 November 2025
This 6-week online class series explores how openness and expansion emerge when movement is organised through the centre. Over time, sitting and habitual postures can create rigidity, leading to aches, stiffness, and a sense of disconnection. Through gentle Feldenkrais lessons, rediscover how the torso, pelvis, and spine can move with fluidity — allowing support and effort to be shared evenly through the body.
Each class uses rolling and transitional movements to release protective patterns, improve coordination, and restore comfort in motion. As openness develops, the body begins to work as a whole — movement feels lighter, posture more upright, and action more effortless.
No experience needed — just a willingness to explore with curiosity.
- Thursdays, 7:45–8:30pm AEDT (Zoom opens 7:35 to assist with set up)

Breathing Through the Pelvis
Thursday 25 September 2025
This 6-week series explores how the pelvis, hips, and breath work together to support movement and ease. Subtle changes in the pelvis can free the diaphragm, lighten the legs, and create a sense of grounded stability and spacious breathing.
Through gentle, floor-based lessons, we’ll slow down, sense the connections between pelvis, legs, and breath, and discover how new possibilities emerge with awareness and curiosity.
No experience needed — just a willingness to listen inward.

The Language of Kindness in the body
Thursday 7 August 2025

Whole Body Balance: From Foot Contact to Self-Connection
Thursday 19 June 2025
A 6-week Feldenkrais series exploring how the feet and legs offer more than support—they're gateways to sensing, grounding, and reorganizing the whole self.
Through gentle, floor-based lessons, you'll explore balance not as a fixed state, but as a living relationship: between ground and spine, stillness and movement, action and awareness.
As attention deepens, you'll begin to feel more stable, responsive, and at ease—moving with clarity and presence. Slowing down becomes a way to sense more fully, not to do less.
