Do you often trip over your own feet? Or have unexplained joint pain? Or joint weakness, dislocations, or frequent injuries? If so, you are not alone. You may be on the ‘Joint Hypermobility Spectrum.’ Hypermobility is a connective tissue condition that causes our ligaments and tendons to be looser than normal. This can undermine the stability of our joints and make our body’s support system less effective.
Hypermobility effects people of all ages, and its severity varies widely. Some people are slightly hypermobile, and don’t even notice it. Other people with more significant hypermobility experience frequent sprains and intense joint pain that comes and goes, without apparent cause. Additional signs of hypermobility can include numbness in your limbs upon waking, or postural characteristics such as “collapsed” ankles, or “locked” knees.
Feldenkrais lessons are an ideal resource for people with hypermobility, because they are gentle, safe, and personalized. In the most natural way possible, they interact with your brain’s neuroplasticity to improve your muscular and skeletal organization.
We are delighted to announce an eight-week series with Guest Feldenkrais Teacher Maggy Burrowes addressing the unique concerns of living in a hypermobile body. Maggy has hypermobile joints herself, and has been using the Feldenkrais Method to live well with hypermobility, and navigate its unpredictable challenges.
With this series of Feldenkrais lessons, Maggy will guide you in developing better proprioception and a helpful understanding of your skeletal structure. You will learn how to reduce joint pain and muscular fatigue by distributing movement more evenly throughout your body, and how to let go of the unconscious effort involved in "holding yourself together," while gaining comfort, stability, and greater safety in your daily activities. This series is intended for those with hypermobility, and will also benefit anyone interested in improving their movement patterns and sense of structural integrity.
This series will help you to:
- Improve your relationship with your structural hypermobility
- Develop your sense of internal connections
- Improve your balance and coordination
- Improve your self-organization in sitting, standing, and moving
- Feel yourself moving in a more integrated and coordinated way
- Move with greater confidence and safety
- Transfer effort from your overworked muscles to your skeletal structure
- Refresh your essential movement patterns
- Help your body to feel less unpredictable
"The depth of sensitivity and awareness that these lessons bring is truly astounding. What brilliance!"

About Maggy
Maggy Burrowes became interested in the Feldenkrais Method in 1986 after studying movement for many years, including Tai Chi and Martha Graham-based dance. She joined the first London Feldenkrais Professional Training Program in 1987 and began teaching Awareness Through Movement classes in 1989. She went on to develop an awareness-based voice and singing teaching system called The Potent Voice, to help people increase their vocal freedom, ease, and authenticity, improve their speaking voice, and their listening, hearing, and communication skills. Maggy has personal experience with hypermobility, and is a dedicated Feldenkrais Teacher, with a warm and encouraging perspective.
