The Gift of Touch
Fascinating movement explorations of fingers, hands, arms and whole body for precision, power and grace.
  • Clever, intriguing neurosensory exercises to improve the sensitivity, precision and coordination of our hands, bringing power and support from the core, through the arms to the fingertips
  • Partnered touch exercises, exploring: “are you giving or taking?”, levels of touch (from light and superficial to strong and deep), following or leading, listening or telling.
  • Consent negotiation
  • Learn a Feldenkrais style hand massage for relaxation, pleasure and rehabilitation 
This workshop is for everyone who would like to enhance their tactile skills (parents, lovers, friends, dancers, martial artists…) and for touch professionals (medical practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, masseurs, sex workers, Feldenkrais practitioners…) 
Learn exercises you can continue at home for promoting mobility, grace, power, recovery from injury and injury prevention
​
Suitable for adults of all ages, all levels of fitness/unfitness; beginners and continuing students.

​Written summaries and audio (MP4) recordings of all the workshop lessons are emailed to all participants, free of charge, after the workshop.
