The Feldenkrais method
We
all have more experience of movement, and more capacity
for it than of feeling or thought. Movement reflects
the state of the nervous system and is the basis of
awareness.
Our
breathing is movement too and reflects every emotional
or physical effort and every disturbance.
The
Feldenkrais method exists as a great variety of movements,
designed to include the entrire human system: neurological,
skeletal, muscular and cognitive.
By
expanding oneself through movement sequences, you become
more aware of rigidities and habitual posture that causes
pain or discomfort. Discovering options for new ways
of moving, improves your flexibility and coordination.

Quote
from Suzanne's Files.com: Marguerite
has the most gentle, calming nature and approaches her
work as her life’s passion. Posture & alignment of one’s
body she says are a big part of one’s overall health
and how one feels everyday. She will get you walking
correctly and standing/sitting effortlessly in a few
sessions. Amazing when she demonstrates how much effort
we put into our movements… who knew?
