"For a period of five years, since I fell and injured my left knee, walking has been increasingly painful. Cynthia taught me a different way of walking that alleviates the pressure on my knee. The results are miraculous. Now I look forward to walking several miles at a time and can sleep without knee or leg pain."

Bio

Who Is Cynthia Birney?

Cynthia Birney is a Certified Feldenkrais^® Teacher with an extensive background in movement education. Her earliest passion for movement, riding horses, led her to England in 1972 where she studied with Robert Hall, one of Britain's Olympic equestrian coaches. Her years of teaching riding were outstanding preparation for the 4 year Feldenkrais teacher training she entered in 1998. Since graduating in 2002, she has worked extensively with people in pain and with trauma survivors, as well as with people suffering from a variety of neurological impairments and with students simply wanting more fluidity in their movement and in their life. Cynthia's style is easy, gentle and practical. She offers her students novel, pleasurable ways to understand how moving well can be profoundly life enhancing.

Cynthia's practice also includes classes and public workshops to introduce groups to the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method.
