Item Description
Awareness Through Movement (ATM) involves gentle movements which increase awareness of one's body. Everyone moves in habitual ways. Feldenkrais helps students find movement options they forgot or never discovered. The result can be greater ease of movement, efficiency, and grace.
People often turn to Feldenkrais following an injury or after developing chronic pain or tension. But everyone can benefit from this awareness training, whether dancer, yogi, athlete, senior, or simply someone curious about how their body moves in space. An ATM class involves the teacher guiding students through a series of focused movements as they lie on a mat, sit on a chair, or stand. Each class focuses on a particular function or movement pattern.
ATMs are one of the modalities in the Feldenkrais Method developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc.(1904-1984). He synthesized insights from physics, motor development, bio-mechanics, psychology, and martial arts to develop a powerful, effective, and practical application, that reconnects learning with human health and function.

What clients have said
“I love your warm sense of humor. Your patience and listening are extraordinary and outstanding. No doubt there will be many lucky people who you will touch and enrich.”—cellist Paul Tobias
Instructor Angela Alston first sought out the Feldenkrais Method for persistent neck and shoulder spasms. After the spasms cleared up, she continued to attend classes with Cynthia Allison in Austin, finding greater ease of movement and relief from chronic tension. She was drawn to learn more about the method and in 2005 began studying to be a practitioner at the Feldenkrais Institute of New York under the direction of David Zemach-Bersin, one of Moshe Feldenkrais’ original students. Angela’s teachers include Sheryl Field, Anna Johnson-Chase, and Deborah Bowes. Angela was certified to teach ATM classes in 2008.
