Who can practice Feldenkrais®?
Most everyone. As long as you can sit and/or lie on the floor you can participate.
I will provide lessons done in sitting and lessons that are done on the floor, of varying lengths, so that you can incorporate them into your schedule according to your need.
If getting down onto the floor, or getting up off the floor is difficult for you, you can also do lessons on the bed. Moreover, to help you with this problem, I will post lessons that specifically focus on how to transfer your body from standing to sitting or from lying to standing, all whilst respecting and optimally using the forces of gravity.

I came to Ethelle for individual treatments, after several months of great suffering from a number of herniated discs. She demonstrated great professionalism, knowledge of anatomy and physiology, sensitivity and dedication. And most importantly, she got me back on my feet. Later, I joined one of her wonderful groups and through her guidance there I am able to continue strengthening and maintaining my body. I won a treasure of a teacher!

I joined the Feldenkrais class under Ethelle’s management due to various orthopedic problems. I started two months ago and very quickly felt an improvement, less pain and more flexibility. Ethelle conducts the classes in a pleasant and professional manner. The time passes quickly and there is a great atmosphere. I highly recommend participating in the group under her management.

I have been taking Feldenkrais classes for several years with Ethelle. Actually, I learn a lot more with her. It’s a way of life that affects almost everything that I do and not just what has to do with movement. Ethelle brings learning to classes that can be applied in many areas: listening, awareness and obviously also movement and healing. I sometimes watch Ethelle in class as she helps other people. For example my father who is 89 years old. Every time she puts a hand on him to help him, I see how it benefits and soothes him. Her explanations in class are precise and well directed. She has the ability to internalize what is happening with the students and to refine her explanations accordingly. I feel and think that Ethelle has a built-in talent and ability to help and understand people and she is loved and appreciated by her students.

I started taking Feldenkrais lessons with Ethelle and I really enjoy them. I feel a great release in every part of my body and a good blood flow. My back pains disappeared, therefore I recommend her highly.

Ethelle, I would like to thank you for your professionalism and dedication in your Feldenkrais classes. Thanks to your classes I have rediscovered a physical balance and equilibrium. I can get up from the floor much more easily and have eliminated the lower back support I used to wear. This has made me more confident. A thousand thanks.

Ethelle, every lesson of yours is a continuous celebration, no lesson is like another. Your personal attitude to everyone is above and beyond what is expected.

Ethelle, your Feldenkrais classes changed my perceptions. I learned to lie down on the mat and also how to get up again from the mat. Your classes help me to feel much better than before.
I highly recommend Ethelle.

Ethelle is a wonderful Feldenkrais teacher. Professional, without mannerism, which is excellent. She is very attentive to her students and treats each of them to the extent necessary for each one. She always explains Dr. Feldenkrais’s own thought behind the exercise, which is very helpful for the correct execution of the movement. In short, it is very worthwhile and I will always be happy to participate in the classes she teaches.

The Feldenkrais classes with Ethelle are an experience for body and mind. The lessons are structured in a correct methodological way, making it easy to respect the movement, while paying attention to correct breathing during the practice. Each class exercises different body parts, while giving explanations and personal attention to each of the participants. I am looking forward to the lessons. I am full of respect and appreciation for Ethelle and her great lessons.

Dear Ethelle, I was happy to join your special lessons this year. You are always kind and friendly with a smile on your face and joie de vivre. It is important for me to say your explanations are always very precise and interesting, and in general your classes really help me to release and relax my body.

I really enjoyed exercising with a teacher who is thorough, checks and corrects the students and at the end of the lesson you feel results.

Two years ago I came to Ethelle to receive individual treatments. I was in pain, unstable, worried and after all kinds of unsuccessful treatments for my back problems. She established a treatment plan and with a lot of professional investment was very successful in getting me out of the acute situation. Ethelle constantly updates herself and together with her amazing personality she is in my opinion a first-rate practitioner of the Feldenkrais method.
I highly recommended her.

Dear Ethelle, here ends a wonderful Feldenkrais year with you, the perfect teacher. The classes were pleasant and not too difficult, yet helped me with my lower back pain. Equally important is the pleasant and calm atmosphere you create in class, your charming treatment of the students, your patience, your niceness, your humour and your smiles. Thank you very much, I really enjoyed your classes and I’m looking forward to next year.

I learned to know my body, every joint every muscle and love to move them. A feeling of tension and relaxation. I especially like Ethelle’s soothing voice and the repeated sentence: ‘leave it and rest now…and breathe”.

Ethelle, a teacher of the Feldenkrais method, has been taking care of my husband on a weekly basis for five years. Despite his advanced age and difficulties with mobility, he manages to renew himself literally every meeting with Ethelle, who is not only a movement teacher but a person who mentally supports the patient and therefore my infinite appreciation and full gratitude to Ethelle.

Ethelle is a charming, amazing, pleasant teacher. She has a broad knowledge of the human body and is constantly learning more and more. In class she explains the exercises well and her eyes see every movement of each of the participants. If one of us makes a movement that is not exactly right, Ethelle corrects, gently and pleasantly. She taught me correct breathing and how to direct oxygen to the painful place and see it’s a miracle, it works! Thank you Ethelle.
