Discover Movement

About

Do you have difficulties in movement or posture? Are you seeking greater comfort or ease? Do you want to improve your ability to perform daily activities? Or would you like to refine movements or activities that you can already do?

The Feldenkrais Method is an approach to learning about your body and improving all aspects of yourself through gentle movement sequences and guided attention.

By reducing your effort and making small, slow movements, you can become aware of your habitual behaviours, and notice differences and changes in your body, movement, and action. In this way, you can refine your use of your whole self. You can learn to move with more ease and efficiency, with more self-awareness, and expand your repertoire of movement. The Feldenkrais Method will help you have more choices in performing daily activities, and gain greater self-control in your life.

Discover Movement was founded in 2017 by Judith Pugh PhD MEd RN, who is a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner and registered nurse. Judith began exploring the Feldenkrais Method to manage her own back problems, which had deteriorated from an injury while nursing more than 20 years ago. She has practiced Feldenkrais regularly for more than 10 years and is a graduate of the 4-year Perth 3 Feldenkrais Professional Training.

Judith is passionate about helping adults explore and transform their habitual patterns of movement in order to make everyday activities easier and improve their well-being. She runs small group Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes at St Hilda's Church Parish Hall in North Perth.

Classes run Monday mornings and Tuesday evenings during school terms (excluding public holidays). Small class sizes ensure individualised supervision. Bookings are essential. For class and booking details please check on our website.

Judith is also a nurse researcher whose research areas include nurses' fitness and musculoskeletal health, and how people use the Feldenkrais Method to manage chronic back pain. If you are interested in tailored workshops and classes to complement workplace wellbeing or lifestyle programs, please contact Judith to discuss your needs.
