Thinking in Movement Studio

~ A Community for Study & Practice ~

Warmest best wishes for staying safe and well, adapting to change, developing relational intricacies.

Thinking in Movement Studio provides resources, lessons, and training, globally online, by telephone and the postal system during this coronavirus season. The studio fosters community centered in Ethics and Autonomy through Feldenkrais®, Focusing, Movement Intelligence, Sounder Sleep System™. Taijiquan, and related modalities.

My sincere intention with this website is to spark your interest in the many forms and ways in which Focusing and Feldenkrais can be studied and applied to assist our world in these changing times. Once you are acquainted with the range of topics and studies we can offer, feel free to be in touch and we could create a study programme tailored to meet your interests.
