For those of us in the northern hemisphere, Fall is quickly giving way to Winter. Losing daylight can cause a cascade of challenges: getting outside less can lead to becoming more sedentary, which can affect our ability to sleep soundly. Additionally, once the snow and ice arrive, we are at an increased risk of slipping and falling. To support you through these changing seasons, we're offering 40% off the following on-demand Feldenkrais programs: A Good Night's SleepBetter BalanceHow to Survive Sitting through Monday, November 18. Find out more below!


A Good Night's Sleep

Are you or does someone you know having trouble sleeping? Feeling anxious and stressed? Our brain is concerned with keeping us safe. However, this means it sometimes reacts in ways that don’t help us to rest. Stress hormones are produced in our brain whether we are facing danger, or simply experiencing general anxiety. As stress hormones build up throughout the...

Practitioner-Focused Summer Sale

access news May 31, 2024
 
Most of us became Feldenkrais Practitioners because we saw the potential for a Functional Integration lesson to change the trajectory of someone's life, and to heal seemingly insurmountable problems.
 
Giving effective lessons requires learning how to blend technique with creativity and improvisation. A successful sixty-minute lesson might 'ask' the Practitioner to pull from hundreds of hours of experience.
 
Teaching others how to give such lessons is a unique skill in its own right--often the result of a lifetime of study and dedication. At Feldenkrais Access, we are lucky to be able to offer Functional Integration-focused programs by some of the most experienced and admired FI teachers of our time: Ruthy Alon, Dennis Leri, Olena Nitefor, and David Zemach-Bersin.
 
Our on-demand programs can provide you with hours of in-depth Functional Integration study that you can return to again and again. As we begin our Summer Sale, we'd like to offer...

Scholarship Program

Ira Feinstein, Managing Director

When I was in my twenties, my favorite job was at a small nonprofit that gave me a sense of direction, a loving and supportive work environment, and a small paycheck. I could pay my bills and go out to eat now and again, but otherwise, I lived frugally. During that time, I found myself in pain—both physically and psychically—and I set out to find ways to alleviate both. I discovered— and found significant relief from—one-on-one Feldenkrais lessons, but the cost was prohibitive. Luckily, a friend of a friend offered to give me lessons for one-quarter of his regular price! It was still a lot of money for me, but I adjusted my budget just enough to make it work. The sessions became the highlight of any given week for almost two years. A decade-plus later, I’ve realized that even if I could’ve paid full price, there is no way I could truly quantify how profoundly those lessons changed me. To say that I might not...

About Our Scholarship Program

access news Jan 04, 2021
Hi! My name is Ira. I am the Managing Director of Feldenkrais Access. Though I usually hide in the background, I wanted to come to the foreground for a minute in order to talk to you about Feldenkrais Access's scholarship program.
 
When we began announcing live online classes this year, we put a notice at the bottom of every email saying "Scholarships available." I thought those two words would be enough to encourage people to reach out. I was wrong. What was needed was an invitation. We've been doing our best to invite you to apply for a scholarship via our emails and FB posts over the last few weeks. Maybe you've seen them?
 
There has been a theme to the emails that have arrived since we've started promoting this program: people feel bad asking for one. Maybe they already received a scholarship from us early this year, or they feel like the series is worth more than they can pay, or they've never had to ask for a scholarship before, and it is an uncomfortable place to...
