“This is the one Seminar that put all pieces together for me. Do Less to Do More is a mantra I use every day for myself and tell all my patients to do so as well.” — C.B.
AGILITY means being able to move easily in any direction quickly and lightly. This requires good balance, a brain that senses whole body action, easy joints, and an even give and take between the flexors and extensors of all muscles working in synergistic patterns.
We were Agile once – why not now? Could it be that over the years age, injuries, habitual overuse, and disease interfered?
The good news is that you can regain more agility, or maintain what you have, when you consider moving more efficiently, without pain or strain.
Do you have clients with low back, spine, hip, and knee difficulties in bending, standing, and sitting so that they can’t get down and up off the floor? If there was an easy way to support your clients to become more agile, would you be interested?
Consider that habitual old patterns that are repeated in the same way over and over can actually interfere with rehabilitation. Interrupt those patterns, and mobility improves without trying.
Would you believe you can enhance your clients’ movement abilities on the table – without asking them to move?
When you offer time for your clients to sense their patterns when they bend, sit, or stand, you co-create practical strategies to enhance not only their ability to improve their agility but find long-term solutions for their neck, low back, hips and knees.
We have found that the best way to support agility within your clients is for you, yourself, to experience several easy steps to become more agile.
Learn to move quickly without a hurry while you learn easy steps to support your client’s
abilities to do the same as you find ways to help them sense the connections necessary for evenly distributing efforts for an action.
When you strive for efficient movement, you learn how to counterbalance, bend, and move with as little effort as possible so that your neck, back, hips, ankles, and knees don’t get worse but actually start to improve and heal.
So — You don’t want to take a 15-hour seminar that includes moving? Let us change that thought.
Can you take a moment to shift your mindset and imagine yourself learning a new approach that can help your client’s healing while YOU lie on the floor or sit in a chair –attending, in detail, to how you move? The focus is on sensing or seeing the patterns, You and your clients will be surprised as you learn to, non-verbally, guide your clients to experience the ease that comes from sensing the many parts of them that can move, that haven’t been moving, and if they did, would be the key to finding the return of their AGILITY.
Learn to Become an ‘Embodied Learner’.
Experience specific Feldenkrais’ Awareness through Movement® lessons, where you sit in a chair, lie on the floor, and move with attention.
Learn partner collaboration, where you see patterns & learn to follow those preferred patterns. Then, you support those patterns as you, non-verbally, suggest ways those patterns can be interrupted so that your client can have a new experience for sitting, standing, and bending.
Learn to work indirectly so that ‘the problem area’ is prepared for any direct action you might want to suggest throughout your session.
Learn to sense within yourself, in detail, how each action is performed and how variations in effort and path help create a new image for that action.
You will leave with more freedom in yourself to sense and explore new possibilities along with the ability to:
- Notice the patterns in a client and work indirectly first, away from the problem area.
- Illuminate space between all joints –and the relationship for distribution of effort
- Interrupt habitual muscular holding patterns, and non-verbally suggest new options — supporting a change in the Brain Map
- Develop skeletal support and improved balance and thus functional ability.
- Support clients to develop a sense of safety and personal control they can use for a lifetime of Agility.

Nikki and I love facilitating this Lifelong Agility Seminar. There is more movement than most — but within the movement the primary focus is on the patterns, becoming familiar with preferences and ways to support. There is curiosity around the initiation and coordination of those patterns and variations that can be suggested. Movements can be performed at any scale, making it accessible to all.

BonnieK recognizes that problems are part of a pattern. When she returned to her massage education after attending 8 weeks of Feldenkrais’ Awareness Through Movement® lessons in the first year of the Amherst Feldenkrais Training Program, she applied this follow the pattern concept within her massage and found enormous ease and success with her client’s ability to heal from within, without pain or extra effort on her part.

Nikki, as a young dancer, had a problem with her ankle. Her Feldenkrais® Practitioner at the time encouraged the parts of her pattern that were not working until Nikki found many different ways to put functional weight through her ankle when she stood, walked, and danced. Today she recognizes the experience of stopping the strain before she feels the pain.
