Looking Up
If we loosen up our necks, could our whole perspective on life change?

Ordinary Moves
How do we see ourselves on ordinary—and not so ordinary—days?
Following My Curiosity
Someone asked me recently how I got into this Feldenkrais work. A friend said she had a friend who did this thing that I might like. I wonder how she knew!
Learning Fun
I’ve been learning a lot, and I’m eager to share with y’all. I’d also love to hear about what you’ve been learning and noticing.
Begin Again
I wondered if I might come up with some brilliant new format for offering these lessons, but that never happened. So, we’ll just begin again.
Staying in Touch
We can move our bodies this way and that, getting in touch with something deep inside ourselves—our bones, our muscles, our feelings—and discover new ways of moving in the world.
Pausing and Knitting
I’m using what I teach—and trying to remember to practice what I preach.
Starting Slowly
I loved listening to the creek. I guess it spoke to something deep inside me, because now I go back as often as I can and listen some more.
Winter Road Trips
My wish for you is that the contrast between light and dark, joy and sorrow, sadness and delight, enriches your experience. I hope that when you light a candle, connect with a friend or loved one, that the light, joy and delight shine ever more brightly.
Winter Light
Find delightful ways to let the light in. Physical and metaphorical ways. Enjoy the late afternoon sun dancing in the trees; light a candle—or two or three: look for beauty somewhere close by; and look for the light in someone else’s eyes. As my father-in-law said, “It’ll do you good and help you too.”
