Hi I’m James 

I’m a fully certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and Pilates Instructor based in Norwich, UK. I’ve been helping people on their movement journey since 2008, both in the UK and around the world. I have worked with adults experiencing persistent back pain, neurological challenges, scoliosis, injuries, chronic fatigue, and those recovering from surgery, living with Parkinson’s, and recovering from strokes. I’ve also worked with athletes, musicians, dancers, and models.

Regardless of movement or fitness experience, I find that students share similar goals: to become happier in their bodies and more efficient in the things they love to do.

What are the Benefits and which would be the best for you?

Key Benefits of The Feldenkrais Method®

The Feldenkrais Method can be incredibly useful for everybody. The work feels great for all bodies and minds.

Improved Mobility

Feldenkrais can significantly enhance mobility by teaching individuals how to move more freely and efficiently. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic stiffness.

Pain Reduction

The mindful and awareness component of the method stimulates the resting nervous system, which reduces the pain mechanisms of muscle guarding and fight-or-flight hormonal responses. This increased awareness helps us recognize when to stop, reassess, and find another way. Students are always encouraged to stop and rest if they feel discomfort.

Enhanced Body Awareness

Feldenkrais fosters a deep connection between the mind and body. Improved body awareness can lead to better posture, coordination, and overall physical performance.

Stress Relief

The mindful, slow-paced nature of Feldenkrais exercises promotes relaxation and stress reduction. Participants often experience a sense of calm and mental clarity after sessions.

This season, we will be using movement puzzles around the hips, pelvis and lower back to develop and fine tune our skills of awareness. We will find out how this area articulates to give us better balance and freedom when walking the dog, spring cleaning the house or painting and decorating.
