Does your inner world feel like a twisted maze?
Through Anytime Anywhere Awareness practice, the clients I work with become increasingly skilled at knowing the difference between their bodily sensations, emotional energies and mental narratives, between their own personal zone of autonomy and the behavior of others that is beyond their control.
By reducing the friction between the parts of their whole, they access more and more of the wordless wisdom that is the natural birthright of every human being, the ease that is always available in every here and now. This capacity for skillful attunement frees their attention for grounded connection with others and the shared nourishment of relational well-being.
“I feel more integrated than I’ve ever felt in my life . . . or, at least since I was 2 years old - I think that’s when the fracturing began. It feels really new and cool. I live in a body that actually feels like it’s mine. It feels like home. When I was a kid if you would have asked me what 'home' meant, I would have given you my address. But now I take my home with me wherever I go.” - KM
"When I first met Seth I was struggling a lot with staying present, with my body, with my work, with - I guess you could say - life in general. I wanted to improve the way I was moving for sure, but what I got was way more than that. I now know how to slow down and really feel at ease in my self. I know how to listen more deeply. I'm more comfortable taking breaks and integrating my practice at a deeper level. That's been a game-changer for me. I couldn't imagine my life now without doing this important work." - JN
“As a former professional ballet dancer and Gyrotonic Master Trainer with 30 years of experience in teaching movement, I am highly trained in doing exactly what is told of me and then some. So it's a welcoming experience to be given permission to go here or there with my body according to how I feel. After a session with Seth, my body remembers another era of my life, before my career and any trauma. I’m brought back to a time in which I played more and my body reflected this.
Seth has a gentle way about him which lends itself to the inviting and exploratory approach of the Feldenkrais method. His voice is calm and his tone is non judgmental as he asks you to observe and ponder upon your body’s sensations. He gives you permission to move towards your natural physical tendencies and patterns, then asks you to see what happens when you choose another direction.
This seemingly subtle work has a profound unwinding and repatterning effect on the body and mind. It creates a safe environment in which to release not just physical tensions but emotional ones as well.” - AF
"Before I started working with Seth, I was experiencing painful spasms in my low back on a regular basis that affected just about everything I did. In particular, I couldn't enjoy walking, one of my favorite activities. Now the back spasms have all but disappeared. Today I walked eight blocks and carried groceries home. I am able to walk whenever I like and attend regular yoga classes.
Seth shares his extensive knowledge of the Feldenkrais Method by physically helping you with the small movements in a very relaxing way. I gained a new understanding of the spine and how all parts of the body interact. The brain is also engaged in some subtle way so that the mind-body connection is transformed." - PA
“During the winter of the Pandemic, I began having regular headaches for the first time in my life. Upon examination and after a series of tests, my internist and an ENT doctor pointed out stress and tension in my neck and jaw as the culprits and recommended massage and relaxation.
I had taken part in Feldenkrais classes with Seth a few years ago and remembered the beneficial effect this gentle and mindful work had on my nervous system. Our first conversation immediately confirmed I was on the right road to understanding and healing. Seth was curious and eager to help me. He observed how I was moving and communicating and offered a mini-lesson during that first call that was the beginning of a process of deepening awareness for me.
We began a series of sessions that involved a variety of explorations, all of these brought me back to how I was holding my head and neck and even how mask wearing might be tied to my holding back my self expression and creating tension. It was amazing to see how the whole body-mind could be involved in creating tension and healing tension.
For me, the one-on-one sessions created an environment for deep personal learning and growth. Not only is awareness gained about the physical, but it was surprising to see how habitual ways of thinking and perceptions about myself and others were also part of the realignment process.
My headaches have gone, my jaw is relaxing, I'm more aware of my breath, I'm more aware of my fear of expressing myself openly, I am more grounded. The other good news is that this work has fed my curiosity and creativity in my work.
Thanks Seth!” - MSL
“I received a formal diagnosis of Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome a few years ago and continued to be challenged to lead a pain-free life of greater strength and mobility. I am a bundle of on-going injuries. While I have had some success working out in a pool, I realized overall that the fear of pain and more injuries was limiting how I went about the world. I felt I had lost my internal gyroscope, and that my lack of proprioception was having a very serious impact on the quality of my life.
After 7 one-on-one sessions with Seth, I can report significantly more ease with some basics that had been plaguing me – getting up and sitting down on chairs, walking, and the like.” - EMT
"I always find myself fortunate when teachers cross my path who show me the way to unlearning, the way to decondition from the clichés of the collective, and how I can learn for myself through my own experience rather than relying on information thrown at me by the outside world.
Seth is definitely one of them. I'd recommend him to everyone who's open to explore and dive into the unknown depths of the intelligence of this magical vehicle we call the human body." - CU
