“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”   Chinese proverb
    Teaching people to move well is to feed them for a lifetime.  Allowing people to pleasurably explore and remember lost or forgotten ways of moving well is at the heart of the Feldenkrais Method and Cynthia Birney’s work as a movement specialist.  Regardless of age or condition, people experience new, pleasurable possibilities for moving through verbal cues and gentle touch.  The precision and potency of this work reduces or eliminates pain and joint constrictions while increasing ease in all movements, including breathing, walking, sitting, standing, reaching, turning and bending. 
    Who can benefit?  Just about anyone willing to change old habits for more vital, effective movement.  Any and all who want to feed themselves for a lifetime.
