Function Through Life

04/09/2026

Starting Block 5 of 2026: Tuesdays 22 Sep-27 Oct 2026, 9:30-10:30am for weekly (In-person at Fremantle PCYC) Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes with Tanya.

Come join the continuing “All About Balance” class series: based on a research project demonstrating improved confidence with balance and falls reduction. We explore a different component of balance and movement possibilities in various positions in each class.

This class is for you if:
• Using slow, gentle, mindful movement (or your imagination), self-attention, and breath appeals for self-change or self-exploration of your own movement habits, and expanding body awareness and mind-body connection?
• You are looking to maintain or improve your balance with more confidence and efficiency in everyday life as you grow older, or where injury or habits have restricted your movements?
• You are looking to improve your coordination and movement confidence, ease and efficiency?
• Maybe explore strategies to help reduce chronic muscular pain or tension and improve comfort?
• Maybe you are looking to improve your sense of well-being and take time for some self-care?

These classes are designed with your safety in mind, so is suitable for adults, looking for a general community class, who can safely get down to lie on the ground and get up by yourself. Classes are not suitable if you are pregnant, or have acute or unstable injury, medical or mental health conditions.

Casual rate of $25 per class or $120 for this 6-week block. Newcomers $20 to trial your first class.

After our "Myths" post, a few of you asked... so what does a Feldenkrais lesson actually feel like? 🤍

Picture this: you're moving slowly, paying attention not to how far you can stretch, but to how the movement feels. There's no strain, no goal to "get it right" — just curiosity.

Over time, these small, gentle explorations add up: easier bending, walking, breathing — moving through your day with a little less effort.

That's the heart of the Feldenkrais Method — learning through awareness, not force.
