“Al’s gentle
manner and skill with the Feldenkrais Method dovetail into a
wonderful healing experience. I left one session with literally a new
way of walking, with much more balance and ease. The Feldenkrais Method
has increased my body awareness tremendously. I highly recommend
Al’s work.” —Dawn Kairns |

Classes &
Workshops: Awareness Through Movement®
Awareness Through Movement is a series of verbally guided,
gentle, slow and organized movements typically done on the floor on a mat
in a group setting. These lessons guide students’ awareness toward
their own movement patterns. Students begin to generate more choices in
thought, emotion and action, and problems and discomfort are resolved.

Method reverses "no pain, no gain" fitness mentality
Private
Lessons: Functional Integration®
Functional Integration lessons are tailored to the client’s
unique needs and organization. Through touch and movement, I communicate
a clear message of a more functional organization to the client’s
nervous system. Through these lessons, overall functioning and sense of
well-being improve and problems diminish or resolve.
What Makes the Feldenkrais Method Unique?
When I work with people, privately or in classes, comfort is of the utmost
importance. Slow, gentle movements allow me to communicate directly with
your nervous system. Never forcing or pushing, I create a safe context
in which the nervous system can learn and change. When clients come for
a lesson, they wear loose, comfortable clothing. Private lessons are done
on a low table.

“I
really enjoy Al’s Awareness Through Movement® class.
Each week he guides us through simple, direct exercises and the results
are outstanding. By listening to my body and incorporating subtle changes

are gone. This class is very empowering.” —Joelle

“Al
Wadleigh is a remarkable Feldenkrais® Practitioner. He brings
extraordinary clarity and sensitivity to his work in his precision, perception
and execution. I have experienced results in a few sessions resolution
to issues that I have been working on for years. He accomplishes in a
few sessions what others take years to do. He is dynamic with his work,
willing to try things outside the box to achieve the intended results.
I highly recommend Al as an expert Practitioner who can contribute on
a high level to healing and self improvement and facilitating your goals.”
