Weekly Classes

From 8th October 2024, I’m starting two new weekly classes in Sheffield and the venue for these will be The Annexe Suite, Sharrow Community Forum, The Old Junior School, South View Road, Sheffield S7 1DB.

10.00 – 11.00 am :  Your Yoga (Women only).

This class follows a blend of Hatha and Iyengar Yoga where you will learn some classic yoga poses and breathing techniques. I encourage people to use adaptations and props such as yoga blocks and belts so you can develop your practice without strain or injury. This class is a space for women only and I will be offering a general class later in the year. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact me here

11.15 – 12.15 pm: Move Better, Feel Better! (Feldenkrais Class for everyone).

This class is designed to help you restore a sense of balance between your body and mind as you unwind and learn easy ways to feel less stiff and “creaky”. “Move Better, Feel Better” is suitable for anyone wanting to try The Feldenkrais Method or for those of you who already know what a difference mindful moving can do for your mental and physical health.
The drop in rate for each class is £10.00. You can save money by getting a Class Pass (five classes for £40). For more information and booking, please email me on dianne_hancock@hotmail.com.

INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS. 

Many people enjoy coming to The Practice Rooms in Sheffield for their individual Feldenkrais therapy.  A 1:1 session can really help identify the cause of aches and pains and help you “re-set” your posture. Sessions are 1 hour and “hands on”. At present, I am seeing 1:1 clients in person on Mondays at The Practice Rooms in Sheffield.

One session: £45  or Package of Three Sessions: £125

Online 1:1 Sessions

An online session can be very effective. Each session is via zoom and we get a chance to explore where there is difficulty and where there is ease in moving. I can suggest ways of re-imaging your work and leisure space so that you can avoid back and shoulder pain.
Online sessions are either 30 or 60 minute sessions. If you are struggling with your range of movement or are recovering from an injury, I can help you.
Please let me know if you want to book a session by emailing me on dianne_hancock@hotmail.com

Prices and Packages

All Classes are £10.00 for a drop-in class or £40 for a Class Pass for 5 classes and you can use the Pass anytime within 12 weeks of purchase. It is valid for the online and the live classes and you can keep buying a Class Pass – cheaper than doing a drop in rate each time.

Individual Sessions.
Online zoom sessions are:
30 minutes (£15) ; 45 minutes (£20) or 60 minutes (£30)
Live sessions are £45 for 60 minutes or £125 for a block of three payable in advance.

New 1:1 package:
1 live session (60 mins) and 2 online zoom sessions (2 x 60 mins) £ 95 – a saving of over 15%

Payment
You can pay by cash or credit/debit card at the live classes or use your Class Pass. Otherwise, go to paypal.me/DianneHancock and please click on “Pay Friends and Family” to prevent Pay Pal taking a sizeable chunk as a fee. If you would prefer to use bank transfer, please email me.

Not sure?

Contact me for a  taster session and then if you want to go further we can sort out the best type of class for you. People who pay in advance for classes or workshops will have priority as I can’t guarantee room for drop-ins.

Extra Discounts

If you are a member of British Actors Equity, Musicians Union or a full-time student studying in the  UK, all classes and sessions are 20% off the full price (including block bookings).

What do I do next?

Leave your name and contact details on the Bookings page and tell me the date you want to come along and I will email you as soon as I can. If you would find it easier to talk on the phone, please leave a number as well.

Individual Taster sessions. If you are new to The Feldenkrais Method you can contact me for an Individual taster session. This is a half hour one to one session where we discuss what would be useful for you, I’ll give you some feedback and a short individual Feldenkrais class. Following this, you can book more one to one sessions or join a group class (group class timetables are different throughout the year).

Home Visits and Special Group sessions. 

From time to time I do work with people who have difficulty travelling so, if appropriate, I can visit you in your home but I will have to charge extra for this. To arrange this, please give me a call on 07708 055309 as every home visit is individually designed for your best needs.

If you have a group of friends or colleagues who would like a taster session then I can travel to you. All you need is a clean floor space with enough room for everyone to lie down on a yoga mat or blanket.

Prices:

Individual sessions are usually £45 for an hour. Most people benefit from 2-3 sessions and so if you book 3 sessions in advance the total cost is £125. Of course, you might want to come regularly over a long period of time! If so, we can sort out a price that suits you best (its always cheaper to pay in advance).

Individual sessions take place at The Practice Rooms in the centre of Sheffield. 

SPECIAL EVENTS

As well as regular weekly classes and individual sessions, I also do workshop sessions where people have the chance to explore The Method more deeply. These sessions can be from 2 hours to a full day – with plenty of breaks for tea, biscuits and chat! Themes explored can be:

  • Flexible backs
  • Releasing neck and shoulders
  • Improving Balance in walking and running
  • Reaching, lifting and carrying
  • Refreshing the mind and body
  • Happy Feet
  • Feldenkrais for Dancers and Performers
  • Mindfulness and Feldenkrais

I advertise these sessions for the public or you can book me to come and work with a specific group of people at your own venue. Prices can be agreed according to the needs of the group and location. Please contact me through my bookings page.
