Movement Lessons
Awareness Through Movement (ATM)® and Feldenkrais lessons, including Bones for Life, taught privately or in groups, teach movement sequences that can help address many issues in our bodies. Lessons can be designed to:
- build greater flexibility in the hips, shoulders and the spine,
- release jaw pain, headaches, and tightness through upper back and shoulders,
- keep low back supported by strong legs and stable feet,
- increase flexibility through feet, ankles, knees and hips,
- and overall improve flexibility, balance, and grace.
Lessons are designed for people of all ages and abilities and explore subtle and interesting movements while laying down, sitting, and standing. Movements are slow and easy, usually very relaxing (sometimes hypnotic). It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothes and bring a small pillow.
All of these lessons can be private lessons, lessons for several people, or lessons for a larger group of people. These are usually held in homes or central meeting places. Contact Judi by email to schedule these types of lessons or give her a call at (319) 541-6957.
Additionally, Judi has pre-recorded lessons you can purchase as audio files. Contact her for more information.
“To make the impossible possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant,” Moshe Feldenkrais.

Most therapies are aimed at the place in your body that hurts. But the myofascia, which shortens and thickens with age, is wrapped around the muscles throughout the body. Rolfing lifts and lightens the body, and along with that goes emotional well-being. During Rolfing, your body lengthens. It’s not unusual for people to grow an inch.
