Just lie on the floor and press play. Do not use a yoga mat, it’s too sticky for the sliding movements. Use a blanket on the floor, with a yoga mat underneath if you like.

About Zoe’s path out of chronic pain
Welcome! I've been helping people move better, feel better, and live better for over twenty-five years. And, I've been through my own lifelong chronic pain so I get how frustrating it is to want to move better and not know where to look. When I discovered Feldenkrais in the mid-1990s, it changed my life.
Because so much of Dr. Feldenkrais’s work is unavailable to the public, I created the Treasury to share some of the thousands of lessons that have helped me—and many others—live a balanced, healthy, pain-free life.
The Treasury is designed to make Feldenkrais a practice. I recommend that all my clients invest at least six months in a dedicated practice to get lifelong benefits.
Welcome to the Treasury. I think you’ll love it!
Is a Feldenkrais practice for me?
Feldenkrais is suitable for anyone—young or old, physically challenged or physically fit—and is especially helpful for those suffering from muscle and joint pain as well as symptoms of stress and strain. It is also helpful for people with injuries, tendonitis, and repetitive strain injury (RSI).
The best part is that by inviting new patterns, Feldenkrais stops old habits from controlling your life. New movement helps everyone feel vital, potent, and powerful, no matter when or how you start.
You move at your own pace and always modify the lesson to honor your own comfort. Never do anything that pinches, pulls, stretches, strains, hurts, or twinges. For more information on how to approach these lessons, listen to Zoe’s short audio:

People are saying....
"You are really great! Thank you. I love the kind and smart way you present yourself and this unusual practice. I love the generosity of the free material. I love the way that after maybe 20 hours of practicing I have learned things that I can now use at will to release some of my long-standing pains. I love that I able to feel joy when I see your pages, that I leave up in my browser all the time. You are one of the bright spots in my life!"

"I’ve been doing the lessons in your wonderful Treasury since July (81 to date!), inspired by your free June intensive. Your calm, nonjudgmental voice and manner continue to motivate me to do at least 2 or 3 lessons a week. Connecting with my sensory awareness is still elusive—especially over time, as when you suggest we compare how things felt at the start of a lesson to how they feel later. I have confidence that these lessons are what I need to explore a new way of being."

"I wanted to send along a note of appreciation for your Treasury! I recently renewed my 6 month package and I have managed to do a lesson, say, 27 out of 30 days each month. I look forward to them. They are a grounding ritual for me and help keep my mind flexible in my considerably stressful home."

"Two weeks ago today, I tore my L4 disc in my back. Needless to say the pain was excruciating. I read a book that a friend of mine, recommended called “Crooked.” My friend introduced me to Feldenkrais and your website. It would be an understatement to mention how much it has helped, both physically and mentally. Yesterday I did exercise number 21 on your site. I repeated it again today. After both times, I experienced 100% no pain in my back for the first time since the injury. The pain did return somewhat as I went about my day, but it’s actually unbelievable given how much pain I was in for much of the last two weeks. I can’t thank you enough and won’t hesitate to reach out for more classes or questions."
