Committing to Yourself

Busy people often have so many commitments, to their families, friends, children, work, clients…the list can seem endless but sometimes what’s missing from that list is self-care. This is the most important item on anyone’s list because – as the Buddhist saying goes:

You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection

As a Feldenkrais teacher, I encourage people to take care of themselves but all too often, I see that self-care becomes a low priority when others need care and attention. We understand unconditional love allows the vulnerable to flourish, so why not love yourself unconditionally? If you know that time set aside for exercise, quiet reflection or pleasurable activity makes a real difference to your physical and mental health, then make a commitment to that personal time – but don’t punish yourself if you can’t always do this!
It’s often easier to make a commitment to self-care if you’ve signed up for a block of sessions – it takes more than one session to change your habits and attitude towards yourself! That’s why I created the Class Pass to make life easier for my clients. A drop-in class is £8 but a Class Pass gets you five online sessions that you can take at any time over 90 days – a no-brainer really! Make the commitment today and click on this link

Workshops this month

I had a great time teaching “Releasing Tension in the Neck and Shoulders” last Saturday. This is part of my monthly First Saturday workshops that are now online. The Feldenkrais Method is well suited to online teaching as this system of movement learning is all about learning to listen to your own body and not craning your neck to copy your teacher! For me, the added bonus is that people can now attend my workshops and classes even if they aren’t near me geographically so I have had people dialling in from Sweden, Berlin and all over the UK. 🙂
The next two workshops scheduled for this month are: Thursday 18th June at 6.15-7.00pm “Creating a More Flexible Spine” and on Saturday 27th June 10-11am “Flexible Feet and Ankles”. Make a note in your diary!
