Hi, I'm happy you stopped-by
I'm Avigail, a Feldenkrais Method practitioner and a Dancer.
Movement and listening to the body have always been my home. Long before any specific method. Over the years, I studied dance from various regions: classical ballet, modern dance, belly dance, improvisation.
I'm a graduate of the Movement Department of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance, where I was also introduced to the Feldenkrais Method in 2011. Subsequently, I acquired the method as a profession in the teacher training program of Dr. Eilat Almagor and Anat Krivine in Neve Shalom.
I've been teaching groups since 2017 and individual lessons since 2019. In recent years, I've had the privilege of teaching students within the training program where I studied.
The youngest student I worked with was 4 months old, and the oldest was 93 years old. I believe that movement is a valuable tool for a person's acquaintance with themselves, at any age.
"Avigail is simply an excellent teacher - attentive, profound, caring, precise, and one of the most sensitive and insightful people I've ever met. She has a love for the method and a genuine joy in playing, exploring together, and discovering anew each time how things are currently, what is available, and what can be worked with." - Naama
"I highly recommend the lessons with Avigail. Within a short period of time, my pain was significantly reduced, I felt a great lightness in my body, and I also received tools to help myself and to know my body better. The lessons are conducted in a good, fun, and respectful atmosphere." - Oded
"A great teacher and listener and therapist! I worked with her as part of my recovery when I broke a bone in my foot, which was very helpful for hip alignment and restorative work once I started to put weight back on the foot." - Ella
The Feldenkrais Method
The Feldenkrais Method offers an approach and a way of learning developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.
Thanks to the extensive collection of movement lessons he provided, and his comprehensive and insightful understanding, the Feldenkrais Method creates opportunities to learn about and expand our awareness of the body, encompassing a wide range of sensations and movement possibilities. The lessons highlight the significance of self-awareness in the processes of learning and improvement. This method is grounded in principles of physics and biomechanics, as well as an understanding of infant development and learning.
Feldenkrais lessons are offered in two formats: group classes or individual sessions.
The method is appropriate for individuals of all ages and abilities, including athletes, artists, those recovering from injuries or living with chronic pain, infants with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, and more. Furthermore, it is equally beneficial for anyone simply seeking to enhance their quality of life.
Group Lessons
Awareness Through Movement
In a group Feldenkrais lesson, the teacher verbally guides varied movements without demonstration, supporting the student's exploration to make new connections and become aware of their own comfortable way of moving, with each lesson addressing a different organization of movement and functional patterns.
Individuale lesson
Functional Integration
the teacher moves the student through "paths" where the movement is light and comfortable. From this safe space, the range of action expands, and learning new paths and routes that were previously unavailable becomes possible (this is easy to understand through sensation).
Baby Feldenkrais
Babies learn and absorb their environment with great curiosity. Their bodily sensations and movement are vibrant and active. Every moment presents an opportunity to learn and discover new things. How can we engage with their curiosity and provide a supportive environment?
The session length is between half an hour and an hour.

An Experiential Workshop From Personal Movement to Creation
What colors and forms are uniquely being created within? Where does the dance that comes from my own experience yearn to go? How can we share this space, each with our own unique dance?
