The Feldenkrais Method® is a mind-body approach to learning, developing awareness, and discovering comfort and fluidity through movement. FI sessions are hands-on individual lessons that use gentle, guided touch and verbal instruction to explore movement, reveal habits, and discover new possibilities and choices that can help you:

• Increase body awareness, comfort, mobility, balance, and flexibility. • Relieve stress. • Improve sleep and breathing. • Reduce pain from injury or repetitive stress. • Address challenges that can result from neurological conditions, chronic pain, arthritis, and other conditions.

This clinic is made possible by Project Commotion and a group of Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners^CM from the Institute for the Study of Somatic Education San Francisco IV training.

Project Commotion (PC) is a community space where children, families and educators are invited to learn and grow together through movement, sensory experiences, and play. We aim to impact the community through our work by offering free or low-cost services to children and families in financial need.

PC offers classes that incorporate movement, tumbling, music, play, dance, and martial arts as a means of fostering healthy development, self-awareness and self-expression. Private, semi-private and small group classes are available for children, and community workshops are offered for adults. PC serves as a foundation of support and information for parents, educators, and other professionals working with children, by providing seminars, workshops, and hands-on experiences in movement. By increasing the level of awareness throughout our community, Project Commotion brings about a vital change in the way that adults can support children's learning and development.

Please contact us if you have questions.
