Awareness Through Movement?
Think of it as an avenue into neuroplasticity and out of fight or flight.
I became certified to teach ATM® in 2016 and at that time I hadn’t experienced the Moshe Feldenkrais statement that the outcome of the method is to make the impossible possible, the possible easy and the easy elegant and I wasn’t sure I would.

- Doing less accomplishes more.
- Pauses are moments to process in your own sense of stillness.
- Observation is a path to follow. Effort is a traffic jam that goes nowhere
- Discomfort is a teacher; strain and pain are the enemy.
- Your internal sensation is your path. It is your alone, not something to compare or to judge.
- No action is too small as long as it is down with awareness.
- Imagined sensation is just as real as movement we can see.
- Everyone’s path is different. As a teacher, I am a guide; not the dictator of where you can go.
