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!”
