In Awareness Through Movement Classes students are guided through a sequence of gentle movements. By moving slowly and paying attention, the nervous system discovers new possibilities and lets go of less functional habits or parasitic muscular tension. This learning process leads to more efficient movements, a feeling of lightness, reduction in aches and pains, and an increased sense of self-awareness.
Functional Integration is a one to one session in which the Feldenkrais practitioner guides the student using gentle, non-invasive touch as a main means of communication. The lesson is custom-tailored to the unique circumstances and needs of that particular person, at that particular moment. The student learns how to reorganize their actions in more effective ways through the experience of comfort, enjoyment, and ease of movement.
The student may lie comfortably on a table designed for this particular work, or do some of the lessons sitting or standing. As needed, the teacher may use various props to support the student’s comfort, to make certain movements easier or help clarifying them..
I was born in Catalonia and earned a Music Degree from the Liceu Conservatoire in Barcelona. Since 2004, I’ve been teaching violin using the Suzuki Method. I co-founded the Little Venice Suzuki Group in 2007, and I’ve also been working at Soutbank International School for 15 years. Beyond my teaching studio, I find joy and meaning in performance, creating music, dance, yoga and meditation.
A decade-long journey into the depths of Contact Improvisation and Impro Theatre has been transformative, inspiring me to explore the boundaries of music making through cross-disciplinary collaboration and improvisation. I have been an active member of the theatre company Zootrophic (2015-2021), played in dance workshops, contact improvisation jams in London and UK festivals (Ringwood CI festival 2019, Emerging Hearts 2022 and 2023). Early this year I composed music for the short ‘Gesture in time’, by P. Seidenstetcher.
My journey with the Feldenkrais Method started in 2013 when I attended my first Awareness Through Movement class. The newfound lightness and ease of movement after that class were a revelation. In 2016 I enrolled in the Feldenkrais Professional Training, qualifying four years later. Today, the Feldenkrais Method continues to enrich my life and the life others in endless ways.
