Cynthia Allen, Feldenkrais and Bones for Life Teacher

“Each time I’m with Cynthia I am amazed at what I learn about my body. It is as if I was divorced from it for all these years and am now just learning step-by-step to really be in this body.
 
The results from my last session were astounding. My feet changed so much that I really [...]

“I have been taking classes and occasional private sessions with Cynthia for the past 2 years. I started a Bones for Life class soon after I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I knew I needed to start to do something that would help strengthen my bones and my back or at least learn how to avoid making anything [...]

My gosh it is hard to say how much I am in love with spring. Life arising brings about a feeling in me that surely most others feel as well.
 
Before bulbs began emerging outside, I was watching amaryllis and paper whites put on their long show. I adore every stage. The dormant bulb has its [...]

In this time of year where we are reborn through the innocence of the Christ child, the end of one year and the birth of another, and the discovery that through a miracle there is still more oil to light our lamps, we each have the chance rediscover or perhaps to confirm our unique presence [...]

This week I bought and planted a blue hydrangea.  Not so funny you think, but to me it is downright hilarious. I am entranced and entertained by those changes that happen in me that I cannot predict and come out of the blue (see in this context even that is funny).

I’ve been noticing more flexibility in my ankles; then two nights ago, while awake in the very early morning, “a voice” said “feet are just like hands!”, and I thought…well yes, they are…and if I were walking on my hands, how would they move?
And [...]

Okay, I confess….I like Valentine’s. 
My childhood memories abound for Valentines and warm my heart. My favorite was the annual decorating of a “mail” box or bag for school. Construction paper hearts and a crepe paper ruffle completed my creation. Then there was the magic of the actual day–receiving and giving those cute little Valentine Cards. 
In those days, it [...]

I just got back from leading an overnight retreat at the beautiful Moye Spiritual Center in Northern Kentucky.
Moye is a lovely place. I have a strong connection to it as I did my Feldenkrais Training there. So 8 weeks a year for 4 years, that is were I spent some of my most favorite time ever.
This [...]

Just this past Saturday, I had the pleasure of learning with a small group of musicians at our studio. It was a day of movement aimed at improving efficient, pleasurable self-use and freedom in performance.
I so enjoyed this group comprised of pianists and then one each who has a passion for the organ, oboe, violin, [...]
