Through movement we learn, we live, we love.
Learning in Action™ addresses how we grow, develop, and form new behavior. Movement is fundamental to all learning. By working directly with the somatic patterns of how we move and how we physically give shape to ourselves and our behavior, we can participate in our actions and interactions on the most fundamental level. We can learn how we move through our lives with greater ease and satisfaction. Learning In Action provides an effective way to participate in the forming and transforming of our actions and circumstances. Sonja is a Guild-certified Feldenkrais® Assistant Trainer and practitioner with a full-time private practice in Berkeley since 1997. Beginning in January 2022, Sonja will also be seeing clients in Walnut Creek. Her practice is deeply informed by her many years of ongoing individual and professional studies with the founder of Formative Psychology®, Stanley Keleman. Sonja offers individualized hands-on sessions for adults, children, and seniors. She teaches group classes and leads workshops and retreats.
