The Feldenkrais method
We
all have more experience of movement, and more capacity for it than of
feeling or thought. Movement reflects the state of the nervous system
and is the basis of awareness.
Our breathing is movement too and reflects every emotional or physical effort and every disturbance.
The
Feldenkrais method exists as a great variety of movements, designed to
include the entrire human system: neurological, skeletal, muscular and
cognitive.
By
expanding oneself through movement sequences, you become more aware of
rigidities and habitual posture that causes pain or discomfort.
Discovering options for new ways of moving, improves your flexibility
and coordination.

Quote from Suzanne's Files.com:
Marguerite
has the most gentle, calming nature and approaches her work as her
life’s passion. Posture & alignment of one’s body she says are a
big part of one’s overall health and how one feels everyday. She will
get you walking correctly and standing/sitting effortlessly in a few
sessions. Amazing when she demonstrates how much effort we put into our
movements… who knew?
