Firstly, there is Jackie Adkins. She is a teacher based in Moray, who comes to Edinburgh every month or so to teach a workshop. Her next event is this weekend, 6th April, on the theme of 'Freeing the Shoulders' (see flyer). Jackie also teaches workshops in Glasgow and regular classes in the North East in the Moray area (Forres). I first started learning through Jackie's workshops and found them a great introduction to the method. I also liked that she provided us with useful handouts and was great at signposting where to learn more. To find out more, go to her website.
My current teacher in Edinburgh is Merav Israel. She teaches regular classes (Awareness Through Movement), offers one to one lessons (Functional Integration), and offers the occasional workshop. I have gained a great deal from her classes, particularly the private sessions. Merav has a gentle style of teaching and a rich empathy driven approach as a practitioner. For details of her group classes, individual sessions, and next workshop - 4th May, on the topic of 'breathing' - visit her website.
Another teacher based in Edinburgh is Jae Gruenke. I have not had the opportunity to take her classes. She teaches a weekly class and also practises privately. Her strong interest is in working with runners and athletes and she previously ran a specialist practice in New York. For more, visit her website.
Have you tried Feldenkrais method? Do you know of any other local teachers? I'd love to hear from you.
