"Very, very, very enlightening and clarifying... my thinking was stimulated and I came away with a much better sense of functional anatomy, i.e. how the body is built to move and how certain misunderstandings of how the body works can lead to the training of a dancer that will be injured, frustrated or never fully expressive. Understanding how the bones are so beautifully put together gives me a greater understanding of how my thinking and misconceptions were affecting my movement. THANKS!" - Alice Brydges, dancer, tai chi teacher, Feldenkrais Practitioner, CA
