Awareness Through Movement® (“ATM®”)
Offered Thursday’s
A lesson runs generally from 45 minutes to an hour, with verbal instructions to guide you through varied movement with a focused awareness as you stay within your own comfort zone. This creates a safe and comfortable environment to explore while lying or sitting on a mat, sitting in a chair or standing. Classes are generally in a group, but you can also schedule private or semi-private classes. You can and should always move as slowly and gently as necessary so that you don’t move past the boundary of your comfort. Our group classes consist of a series of classes tied together by a theme. For anyone who wishes to stay, I remain afterwards for up to an additional 30 minute and entertain any questions someone might have and discuss what people have learned from the lesson. A link to the recording for the class is available for students within a few days. This recording allows you to repeat a lesson from class at your leisure for no additional charge. For those who haven’t taken the series, they can try it for the first time in the comfort of your own home for a fee by downloading a recording. Jacquelyn is currently teaching online on Thursdays at 10:00am, and a live class on Wednesdays at 10:15am at Roxbury Park .
For those interested in a more detailed explanation of what a lesson is like, here is an article in the New York Times from a few years ago that explains the ATM experience.

“As a former endurance athlete, I sustained shoulder and knee injuries from overuse that have been painful and prevented me from training ever since. In trying to remedy those losses, I’ve learned that the path to healing isn’t won by pushing through. ‘It’s won by learning to really listen to your body and respect what it needs.’ To learn that I haven’t found anything more helpful than Feldenkrais. And when it comes to Feldenkrais, I haven’t found a more sensitive, effective, or caring teacher than Jackie.”

Functional Integration
A listening touch can transform how you sense yourself, your self-image and your movement patterns, during these one-on-one, hands-on sessions. This may lead to more ease in your movements, less discomfort and pain management. Using a gentle, noninvasive touch with clients, who are in their own comfortable loose clothing, lying down or in other configurations on a low padded table with the aid of blankets, pads and rollers to ensure comfort.

“I wanted to alleviate the high anxiety that western medical doctors had not been able to cure for me. I did not want to live the rest of my life with episodic discomfort and fear. Jackie identified the Feldenkrais breathing tools that provided the ladder out of the rabbit hole I found myself. I was thrilled!“

“The chains of habit are too light to be felt until
they are too heavy to be broken.”
– Betrand Russel
The beauty of the Feldenkrais Method is that our awareness is the key to unlock the chains of habit.
“A few learnable movements have improved the way I move in my daily life.”
