I adore this book! It is touching and packed with relevant information for anyone interested in improving their life. Everyone deserves the best possible chance to grow and learn. Kids Beyond Limits, the new book by Anat Baniel, outlines the necessary tools for parents to begin creating the conditions for this growth and learning in their children. While written for the parents of children with special needs, this book is no less relevant or applicable for all parents. And in terms of brain plasticity and creating the most potent conditions for the human brain to learn it’s also extremely relevant for every person. This book is an invaluable read for the caretakers of all children, and absolutely worthwhile for everybody else too!

Happy Monday, Feldenkrais Fans!  Tonight the ATM class at Hawthorne Wellness Center will be taught by Zack Hegge.  He studied Feldenkrais in San Diego with Mark Reese and Donna Ray.  It’s always useful to have different teachers, so I look forward to hearing about your experiences.

I am in San Rafael again, soaking up my last segment of the Anat Baniel Method for Children, and will be back in time for next Monday’s class.  See you then.  And in the meantime, have an awesome time with Zack!

Monday night Awareness Through Movement class at Hawthorne Wellness Center is on a holiday and will resume on Monday, January 9th.

Also, In the new year this weekly ATM class will be a bit less weekly, as my training schedule in San Rafael for the Anat Baniel Method for working with children with special needs amps up. I will be down in San Rafael for 10 days out of each month from January through May, so please look to this website for updated info on the weekly class.

I will be in San Rafael, California at the Anat Baniel Method for Children with Special Needs training. Monday evening class at Hawthorne Wellness Center will resume Monday, October 24.

No ATM class at Hawthorne Wellness Center on September 5th, due to Labor Day, or September 12th when I’m attending a workshop.  Weekly class resumes Monday, Sept. 19th.  See you then!

I am now able to accept credit cards using my iPod and technology from Square  The surcharge for credit card use is $2.00 for individual sessions and $0.50 for group classes or practice Anat Baniel Method for Children Sessions.

I’ve just returned from my first segment of training in the Anat Baniel Method Children’s Mastery Program.  Anat Baniel trained with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and taught The Feldenkrais Method and trained Feldenkrais practitioners for years before developing her own method for working with special needs children.

Student Lessons – Now through April 1, 2012
In order to continue my learning and share this method with special needs children in our community I’m offering Free Student ABM for Children lessons.  This offer will run now through April 1, 2012, the duration of my training.  Most children experience the greatest benefit from lesson-clusters of 2 lessons per day for 3 to 4 days.  Lessons take place at my downtown office location.  Call or email to schedule your child: 503-956-5842/cutlerjoanna@gmail.com
