About One to One Sessions

Functional Integration lessons/One-to-One sessions

Functional Integration (FI) session is the formal name for the hands-on aspect of the Method, done one-to-one with a practitioner and tailored to the individual client. Using a gentle touch, I support you to explore how to reconnect within yourself to move out limitations and constraints. Lessons focus on addressing your needs with regards to settling the nervous system, decreasing pain, recovering from surgery and injury and/or improving the quality of everyday activities.

I have adapted this individual, hands-on practice to working on-line via Zoom, with equally effective results.

“The experience of working with Veena has been a remarkable complement to this new season of dance and movement in my life… Veena brought joy, light and hope of healing to all our sessions….Through our private sessions, through asking questions about how the body is organized, through the small deliberate movements and flow of Feldenkrais that she facilitated, I entered into a world of the possibility of healing chronic pain in familiar places. I entered into a world where habitual body stances that I thought were fixed in pain or asymmetry – these stances began to shift. I began to learn resources and healing ways to interact with them….Every time we ended our sessions, I marveled at my newly realigned body being in a place of such peace and integration.”

ABOUT THE FELDENKRAIS METHOD®

The Feldenkrais Method® is a portal to self-learning and internal systems/culture re-configuration.  Through slow and gentle movements (in structured Awareness Through Movement® lessons or individualized Functional Integration® sessions) we gather evidence, based on your first-hand experiences. We test out options to arrive at easier, clearer, more effective ways of moving.  We see and work with you in your wholeness – shaped as you are by distinct combination of thoughts, feelings, sensations and movements/actions.

The movements and sensory observations engage you at a systemic level, e.g., the nervous system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, the visual system etc. With each movement, these systems are taken into a conversation with one another – you unconsciously learn and reconfigure yourself.  

In Feldenkrais, rest is a space for intelligence gathering and integration. Quality matters more than quantity. We encourage self-learning through exploration, curiosity, non-judgement, ease and playfulness. Engaging with the Method is an opportunity to practice and expand self-awareness, to bear witness to yourself and to start reshaping your internal culture.

The Method is accessible to people of all shapes, sizes, ages, identities and movement abilities. I endeavor to adapt individual sessions, classes and workshop content to meet diverse student circumstances.  I regularly (and upon request) hold classes which are only for people from Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
