Biography:
Finding my accordion again
 
I was born in France and brought up the French way — young children were not allowed to run around freely then — and the educational system was strict and traditional, lots of sitting and listening. It is no wonder that by the time I became an adult my thoracic cage had become rigid and that I did not even know it. Neck painful? “tight” said the osteopath, but I could not sense this. Through Feldenkrais classes for some years and eventually the training, I was able to reconnect with flexibility, especially in the ribcage which. I now regard as an accordion.
 
The Method infuses all I do from teaching French to University students and businessmen to learning new skills. I find I can apply it to every aspect of my life and in doing so I breathe more easily. I try to communicate this to my Feldenkrais students while always keeping it in mind that it is up to them to take on board what they want and at their own pace.
