Well-Aware Podcast with Jill Wigmore-Welsh MSc Feldenkrais

This podcast explains a little, and the story within may sound familiar to you.

I know that you're wanting something practical to do, and this podcast is just that.

I avoid going deep into content, I give a brief outline, so listen to hear what's been happening.

As well as my story, you can learn some practical steps to help you feel more...

A short podcast:

In this short recording, I introduce you to the three different modes that your autonomic nervous system can be in at any time: Connected, Action, or Shutdown.

These days, there's a lot of attention placed on becoming more resilient, to see the work place as a place to thrive.

However, the number of people coming to my practice with chronic mental and physical health problems is rising. The reality that everyone wants to discuss their men...

This Body Sensing & Movement Awareness Lesson is an introduction to a way you can use simple moves from the Feldenkrais Method to de-stress and recalibrate

The Alexander Yania lesson series is a classic set of lessons, sometimes they can need a little interpretation because the transcriptions are direct from speech. Their would have been a whole class, a group of up to 50 taking the lesson at the same time.
