Group Class Testimonials

“Michael’s class is the most complete Feldenkrais class I’ve taken. I like how he adds a section of practical “real life” application at the end of the lesson. It’s also a big benefit that he usually adds some hands-on input with each person to make what you are doing even clearer. I highly recommend his class to those with physical limitations because he is very attentive and is creative in thinking of various modifications. I feel different and can do more after each class and I have greater range of movement without using as much effort.”

“I feel more balanced after class and he helped me gain an understanding of the body mechanics behind some of the Feldenkrais lessons. I needed some of his verbal explanations because it really helped me to understand how doing less is more.”

“If you have back pain like me, you owe it to yourself to try Michael's Feldenkrais class. When you leave a session you will feel relaxed and clear headed. Michael will take you through a series of repetitive movements. The process is gentle and introspective. It doesn't resemble yoga or massage very much except you feel refreshed and at ease when done. It's the only body movement class I know of that focuses on improving your posture and movement so you can live without pain. And Michael has a soothing, thoughtful presence.”

Private Session Testimonials

"Feldenkrais lessons have helped me to practice my Aikido techniques more effectively. When the Senseis and high-ranking students in Aikido talked about moving from my hips in order to do the techniques, for some reason it just didn't click for me. After the Feldenkrais lesson involving hip movement/range of motion, the lightbulb turned on and I got the 'aha!' moment, when I finally felt the range of hip motion for myself.”

"As a runner, swimmer and bicyclist, I incorrectly believed that practice and coaching techniques were all that I needed to excel as an athlete. I however continued to feel disjunctive and longed to move gracefully with less effort. After spending one session with Michael, I learned to become more aware of all of my movements, from where my movements originated to how I ended my movements.  The next time I swam, I applied what Michael had taught me and found that my movements were easier and smoother, and I no longer suffer from neck strain."

"My right foot has suffered from neuropathy resulting from a stroke I suffered four years ago. By the fall of 2006, this neuropathy had progressed to the point that I did not feel comfortable walking. My right foot would give out on me, without warning and I would stumble. I considered carrying a cane, but chose to consult with Michael Wesson instead. After just 2 visits, Michael had coached me to a dramatic improvement. He recommended exercises designed to increase my lower torso mobility and coached me back to a traditional amble. With Michael’s guidance, I replaced the gait that I had developed in compensation for the neurological damage caused by the stroke. My new gait is balanced and confident. I would heartily recommend Michael’s skill as a Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner. His work has allowed me to walk with confidence."
