NEW FELDENKRAIS SERIES
begins Tuesday Oct 20th

Image in Action with Deborah Bowes
Awareness Through Movement®: The Power of Image
Part 1: 4 Tuesdays beginning Oct 20�
Part 2: 4 Tuesdays beginning Nov 17
�1–2pm ET · Live on Zoom + replays

A well-chosen image can help us become more aware, more efficient, and even more expressive in how we move. And for many people, simply remembering the image later brings the whole lesson back.

In this new two-part series, Deborah Bowes guides Awareness Through Movement® lessons that each explore an image or metaphor:
the spine as a chain
a clock on the back
a ball traveling around the room
flying
a candelabra
a dead bird
a prayer
knots in the crotches

The use of imagery has a rich history in somatic education. Moshe Feldenkrais drew inspiration from the work of other pioneers, including Mabel Todd and her groundbreaking use of anatomical imagery. Todd’s student at Columbia University, Lulu Sweigard, further developed this approach as Ideokinesis, or neuromuscular re-education. Teachers who continued to explore and develop this lineage include André Bernard, Eric Franklin, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Irene Dowd, and others. Each approach is distinct, yet all invite a deeper conversation between mind and movement.

Come explore how images can support the way you move, think, sense, feel and imagine.

Who is this for?
• These lessons are appropriate for all and do not require previous experience with the Feldenkrais Method.
• Feldenkrais practitioners will find many ideas to improve their practice, self-use and work with clients and students.

Earlier this summer, my Zumba teacher called out to the full room: “Wow Tiffany! I want to go where you just went!” She was commenting on how I was moving—effortless, easeful, joyful, strong, and supported from the ground up. It was amazing that she could see on the outside what I was feeling on the inside.

I've been brainstorming about how I might share this with you and I'm excited about what I've come up with :)

Pelvis, Breath and Possibility​

1-2pm ET / or via recording

"Dissolution of anxiety is subjectively felt as recovery of a degree of freedom of motion of the center of the pelvis." — Moshe Feldenkrais

Imagine what would be possible if you were free to move in any direction without hesitation? In this class, we’ll explore how greater freedom of your pelvis creates the conditions for greater freedom in your creative capacity & life.

This is from a student who came to my class yesterday:

"The class was amazing! I have never felt smoother rotating-torso, hips, head-than I did after that class. Really cool stuff.”

I loved hearing this, because even though I'm building off the foundation of my learning / teaching for over 20 years, what I'm synthesizing and creating right now are totally new lessons that I've never done before and they are super effective! Looking forward to sharing with you :)

"Thank you so much Jeremy—your work has been life-changing for me!! Feldenkrais alone was contributing to increased hypermobility"

"My hips are moving like they never have before!! I don’t think I have moved my hips properly in walking for 60 years!!"

08/21/2026

I spent last week moving and being moved at a week-long Authentic Movement retreat with Alton Wasson and Daphne Lowell, who have been leading this retreat every summer since 1989. (Alton also married Matty and I 15 years ago!)

This is the last summer at Hampshire, because sadly the college is closing it's doors.

On one of our lunch breaks I walked over to the building where Moshe Feldenkrais taught his last professional training program in 1980-81. I couldn't go inside because the doors were locked, so this is what I found (watch the video)

I was so moved to see the words: "TO KNOW IS NOT ENOUGH" on the side of the building, as this idea is at the heart of Moshe Feldenkrais' teaching that has influenced my life in so many ways. After my walk I learned that this is Hampshire College's motto, from the latin 'Non Satis Scire'.

I'm present to the importance of the small steps that lead up to bigger arcs of experience ---and the importance of experimenting, integrating and sharing.

​I created a new series of short lessons to help me re-integrate and re-organize​ after a long day of travel last month. I decided to share them for free in a Youtube Playlist. (Check your email if you're on my list, and if you're not comment below or message me and I will share it with you 🙂 )

In addition it it magically unwinding my pain / discomfort from traveling, a student shared that it "Felt like beginning choreography, and simultaneously developing choreographers!!"

***Big thanks to Jeremy Krauss for the structured and creative inspiration -- it is such a gift to create lessons that empower others to also feel inspired to create.

It is much easier for me to share other people's teaching publicly than my own, so the Authentic Movement retreat and visiting this important historical and meaningful place, gave me the nudge I needed to share even though it's not perfect, etc, etc.
