Small friendly classes, great teachers and comfortable safe space. Feldendkrais for all, gentle movement that structures, supports and brings awareness to move in a greater, more flexible manner.  Margaret is an excellent teacher, helps you to fine tune your body with ease. Dance Class and Ukulele, great teachers, fun learning environment, great for your body and brain, keeps both active in a fit and fun way.  All set in lovely surroundings, a garden to sit in, a 10 minute walk from Newtown Station. Friendly and caring staff.

Meeting with other friendly women.  Coming to Feldenkrais and New Moves and connecting with my body.  A calm quiet time for energetic movement. I love the way we are told we are all beautiful and we look beautiful.
