Years ago, must have been in ~2004/05, I remember seeing this person I'm writing about in the recreation centre I use to work at. I remember thinking how all his "nitty gritty exercises" were doing more harm than help. But I was too shy to say, "Hey, I could show [...]
I took this short video at the start of a 3-hour workshop I was teaching in Vancouver titled "Ditch Those Orthotics". As with most Feldenkrais-based teachings you start with self-inquiry and the act of simply noticing what you do. What are the discrepancies to your right or left when you [...]
One of the ways I work with people is via the principles of The Feldenkrais Method. This method was founded by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984). Moshe was one of the pioneers in the uprising of the "mind-body" movement. He was sought out for his skill and genius in working with [...]
Two days ago I went skiing with the individual I highlight below. On our way up the hill we were chatting about recovering from injuries and how her outlook on healing - as well as her pain - changed after she starting working with me. We are good buds [...]

Our DNA is a spiral. Two spirals twisted together that biologists call "The Double Helix". Our bones have spiral-like qualities to them too. This gives them their strength, resiliency and shock absorption prowess. Our muscles aren't attached to our bones in straight lines either, so why the heck do we [...]
Think about the dentist for a moment. Depending on the history of your teeth, the dentist can be an ‘OK’ experience, or it simply sucks. I’m one of those people who people hate. I never floss, I only brush my teeth before going to bed, I eat sugar, and I’ve [...]
Click here to re-tweet "The other shade of dualism: "Multi-Dimensionalism." Black - White. Sick - Not Sick. Happy - Unhappy. Health - Unhealthy. Function - Dysfunction. Flexible - Stiff. Introvert - Extrovert. Mind - Body. now you try.... Something goes here. Something goes there. I'm THIS. I'm THAT. This dualistic way of thinking [...]
