The Feldenkrais Method® is a movement practice that helps you become more aware of yourself through movement, sensation and observation. As your awareness grows, you'll begin to recognise habits, discover easier and more efficient ways of moving, and uncover new possibilities that support everyday life.

I’m Saara…

My background is in contemporary dance. After completing my Master's degree in Helsinki, Finland, I worked professionally as a dancer and teacher. It was during my studies that I first encountered the Feldenkrais Method. I was drawn to its gentle, exploratory approach, which transformed the way I understood movement, ultimately changing the course of my professional life. Today, I share that experience through group classes and one-to-one Feldenkrais lessons in central Manchester.
