Coming and Going

October 3, 2022/0 Comments/in Awareness Through Movement, Feldenkrais Method, Weekly Newsletter/by Gika Rector

What do you do to breathe a little deeper? Do you have to get away, or can you find some moments at home that provide a sense of restoration?

November 20, 2020/0 Comments/in Coaching, Reflection/by Gika Rector
