The warm-up will be based on Feldenkrais Method; a practice supporting and deepening mind/body intelligence. By slowing down, finding ease, listening to degrees of effort, quality of weight distribution and tuning into layers of sensation, the nervous system creates new neural patterns.
This allows for a fresh state of readiness where movement choices can widen with minimal effort. A state of inner ease and simplicity also facilities the possibility of a wider sense of (inter)connectedness with self, the environment and others, as well as the room for truer spontaneity, and play. Jenny’s class will involve working solo, with partners and in groups.
Cancellations & refunds
Prices for classes are kept very low and are subsidised by ID in order to support artists to attend. To keep admin manageable for our small team, we don’t offer refunds if you cancel or can’t attend a class, and we can’t transfer your booking to a different class/event. We hope this is understandable. If a class is cancelled or changed by ID however, we do offer refunds/transfers to everyone who has booked.

The Feldenkrais Method® was developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) as a gentle and intricate embodied educational process concerned with self-discovery, wellbeing and improved function. It uses movement, sensation & reflective experience as organic learning modes to support us in our ability to interact with the world in new ways with comfort, ease and curiosity. It invites us to slow down and listen to ourselves and to playfully explore the world of our internal sensation and supports our nervous system to form new pathways beyond our habitual capacities. The Feldenkrais Method® is taught in ‘Awareness Through Movement’® group lessons, guided through verbal instruction, and one-to-one touch-based ‘Functional Integration’® lessons as dialogues between learner and practitioner.
