About Tara
Tara Eden
I found Feldenkrais after years living an intense life punctuated by intense yoga & fitness practice left me exhausted with chronic body pain, inflammation, anxiety, frustration and the desire to feel nothing. The first time I tried an Awareness Through Movement lesson it was an audio file online that focused on “releasing the shoulders”. I had pushed the furniture away and was lying in the middle of my livingroom floor. After less than an hour of unusual, gentle movements with my attention carefully focused on my sensation (rather than technique) and the constant reminder to find out how to do what I was doing with “less effort” I found myself remarkably transformed. My body rested more fully and comfortably on the floor, my breathing was markedly easier but the most amazing part was this acute realization that I could learn to do things differently. I could LEARN how to move and breathe (and, eventually, BE) in a way that was easeful and comfortable. This was a revelation that has changed my life.
After graduating from a 4-year Feldenkrais Method Professional Program and becoming an ISMETA® Registered Somatic Movement Therapist/Educator – and from years practicing Thai Massage, teaching yoga, exploring creative movement and movement therapy and a lifetime of observing people and what drives them – I help people learn how to reconnect to their body, to realize where they are causing themselves unnecessary pain or strain, to discover new healthier self-use, to be empowered to trust and learn from their own embodied experience and to discover a unique inner calm, stillness and knowing that arrives spontaneously in an embodied state change.


Student Feedback:
“I cannot recommend this work enough. It balances and heals, providing the perfect compliment to yoga practice and sport. It is now part of my daily practice.
Do your body and mind a favour by trying one of Tara’s feldenkrais classes or her Somatic ‘Learning to Listen’ module trainings.”

“I’m BLOWN AWAY by the change I feel in my body after the Somatic Movement Course. I’ve released tension in my upper back that I had kind of just accepted to be a part of my “permanent” physical condition. My jaw feels lighter than ever and my breath freer – to name a few of the changes! Tara is amazing, she shares powerful tools in a way so it feels simple, interesting, fun and so so useful. “

”Tara’s passion & knowledge of somatic movement is incredible. She skilfully guided us through movements which enable you to explore how you learn, what your habits are and how you’re limiting yourself.
I realised how hard I’ve been making my life… I came away from the course with a new found sense of ease & freedom in my body & my mind. Tara is a great facilitator & made the course interesting, informative & fun. I can’t wait for the next module!”

“This has been the most revolutionary course I have taken in terms of movement exploration. I guarantee it will be incredibly enriching.
Tara’s teaching is honest, deep, inquiry based and heartfelt…If you aren’t already tempted enough to go to Chiang Mai, let this be the reason.To open up your inner feeling, seeing, hearing, embodied self and let the light in x”

“During this course I really started to listen to my body and how I felt, without trying to change anything.
By the end, I felt really good in my body and I had the feeling that I made a big step on my way of being in my life. The change is not only physical but also psychological: I learned to listen not only to my body, also to my mind…
For me Tara was the perfect teacher. A strong, funny and human personality. I felt really secured and we shared a lot our feelings and life experiences. She also made absolutely no judgements, she just listened deeply to us without any advice. Tara showed us how to feel deeply connected and safe and showed us a unique kind of freedom in the body.”

"…So much of this body wisdom is transferable to everyday life – practising subtleties, listening, re-learning, forgiving and finding new ways, awareness to what I do when I do it, self image as a concept is extremely profound… I want more and for everyone!"

“…What I liked most was Tara’s honest raw teaching methodology, she is very proactive on encouraging learning at our own pace.”

“Coming out of such an intense practice my awareness of my thoughts and habits grows and deepens…I might change physically but I feel its more because something else changed in my perception of my self…”

“Before taking ‘Module 1, learning to listen,’ I only enjoyed Feldenkrais classes for their relaxing quality. After experiencing this immersion (many Feldenkrais classes in a condensed period), I felt several physical “A-ha!”moments about ease, effort, and fluidity. It is amazing to feel how my parts are “speaking” to each other now, even during ordinary activities like walking. This training has made me very excited about the Feldenkrais method. Thank you, Tara, I’ll be back for more!”

“The part of the Immersion I liked the best was to learn there can be different ways of moving that we may not have considered because of our learned habits! The connections between all my skeleton was also enlightening because although I knew this in theory the penny hadn’t really clicked! The idea I can ease pain just by changing the way I move (not just holding it in) is wonderful! I have been a pretty clumsy person in the past but I have now learned not to hurt my own body by moving differently! This has also transferred to looking after the whole of me mind, body and soul and to know I can be curious about other ways of behaving……..moving about in the world and relating to people! Taking care of myself!”

“The whole experience has been a revelation for me; I have rediscovered my physical self. I was able to recognize and understand relationships, connections and habits in my body, mind and feelings.
The concept that has impact me the most is the idea of re-mapping the brain by giving the body options that were not available due to habits, body structure, etc. opening myself to a world of new, exciting possibilities.
The instructions through out the all program were clear and precise, for me this was the key to be able to follow every session, to be focus, to make the best of it and enjoy the amazing changes in my body.
Tara is a dedicated passionate professional who has the great capacity to listen and understand everyone’s physically and mentally needs, adapting every day the program to a personal level.”
