Move without pain. Think without noise. Return to yourself.
ATM group classes and weekend intensives — for back pain, anxiety, neck tension, and chronic stress.
Feldenkrais is not exercise. It's learning.
The Feldenkrais Method uses slow, gentle movement to help your nervous system discover new ways of organising itself. For people living with back pain, chronic neck tension, anxiety, or stress, this is often the missing piece — not more stretching, but a fundamentally different relationship with how you move and feel.
How we work together
Weekend Intensive
Neck & Shoulders
Two days of deep movement exploration for chronic neck pain, tension headaches, and the armour we carry in the upper body.

“I came to Feldenkrais looking for relief from pain. I stayed because I found something I hadn't expected: the ability to learn, at any age, in any body.”
— Hanna, founder & practitioner-in-training
About Hanna
My story
The Feldenkrais Method changed something in me that I hadn't been able to reach any other way. I had been doing yoga for years and felt something building — a sense that if I continued, something was going to snap. I found Feldenkrais almost by accident. What followed surprised me: it improved more than yoga ever had, on more levels than I expected. Physically, mentally, and in a quality of ease I hadn't known was possible. That experience is why I'm now in my third year of professional training — and why I teach.
Training & credentials
Training
- Currently in Year 3 of a four-year Feldenkrais Method professional training programme
- Teaching Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) group classes
- Weekend intensive themes developed around the most common challenges my students face: back pain, neck and shoulder tension, anxiety, pelvic floor dysfunction
- Not yet offering Functional Integration® (FI) individual sessions
Beyond my practice
Co-founder, Feldenkrais Marketing
Alongside my training, I co-founded a Feldenkrais marketing initiative with Angelo Mottola, founder of AMO Consulting. The project exists because brilliant practitioners deserve to be found — and because the Feldenkrais Method deserves a wider audience than it currently reaches. Feldenkrais Marketing →
Awareness Through Movement® Classes
“Every lesson is an invitation to your nervous system — not a demand.”
ATM lessons are guided movement sequences — usually done lying on the floor or sitting — that give your nervous system new information about how it can organise your body. They work by making movement easier rather than stronger, more curious rather than more correct. People come to ATM for back pain, neck and shoulder tension, anxiety, poor sleep, and chronic stress. Many also come with no specific problem — simply wanting to feel more at home in their body.
What to expect
No prior experience
Every lesson adapts to where you are. There is no performing, no keeping up, no right answer.
Online or in person
Online ATM works remarkably well. You need a mat, enough floor space to lie down, and a stable internet connection.
Cumulative learning
Each lesson builds on the last. Students often notice changes not just in movement, but in how they handle stress and tension day-to-day.
Schedule

Frequently asked
Weekend Intensives
Two days. One theme. Real change.
Each intensive is a small-group, immersive Feldenkrais experience built around a single theme. You'll move, rest, and develop a new relationship with a part of yourself you've been trying to manage rather than understand.
Neck pain · Tension headaches · Stress
Neck & Shoulders: Finding Ease Where You Carry the World
Most people with chronic neck pain and tension headaches have tried stretching, massage, and physiotherapy. What they haven't tried is understanding why their neck braces in the first place. This two-day intensive uses Feldenkrais movement lessons to work with the deeper patterns — the way you hold your breath, brace against effort, or organise your head and spine during daily life. Suitable for desk workers, drivers, musicians, and anyone carrying sustained tension through the upper body.
Anxiety · Stress · Mental health · Burnout
Explore Your Nervous System: Feldenkrais for Anxiety & Mental Well-being
Anxiety lives in the body as much as the mind — in a braced jaw, a held breath, a belly that never quite releases. This intensive works with those patterns directly, through Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®. No talk therapy. No performance. Just a different, slower conversation between your brain and your body. For people navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, or a sense of disconnection from themselves.
Pelvic floor · Back pain · Chronic pain
Pelvic Floor & Feldenkrais: Beyond Tightening
The pelvic floor is connected to everything — your breath, your spine, your hips, and your experience of chronic back pain and tension. This intensive approaches it through the whole system rather than isolated exercise. Suitable for all genders and bodies. Particularly helpful for those who have been told to 'just do Kegels', and for whom that advice hasn't been enough.
Repetitive strain · Hand & wrist pain · Neck pain
Feldenkrais for Knitters: Craft Freely, Feel Better
Knitting is a whole-body activity — hands, wrists, forearms, shoulders, neck, and back all participate, whether or not you notice it. This intensive addresses the movement patterns that build up during repetitive craft work and helps you return to your needles with more ease, less pain, and sharper sensory awareness.
Upcoming dates
Intensives run seasonally in small groups. Join the list to be the first to hear about upcoming dates and locations.

Feldenkrais Marketing
The problem
The Feldenkrais Method has over 10,000 certified practitioners worldwide. Most of them are nearly invisible online. Not because the work isn't remarkable — but because the profession has never had the infrastructure, or the cultural comfort with self-promotion, to connect practitioners with the people already searching for them. The result: underfilled classes, undervalued work, and a method that reaches far fewer people than it should.
What we built
Hanna co-founded Feldenkrais Marketing alongside Angelo Mottola, founder of AMO Consulting in Leverkusen. Together they offer Feldenkrais practitioners human-centred, practical support to build their online presence — through improved search visibility, website design, and booking infrastructure. The project is built on a single conviction: you shouldn't have to become a marketer to fill your classes.
