The Body of Breath

A 10-Day Feldenkrais & Breathing Meditation Retreat
June 19–28, 2026 (Friday to Sunday)

Join for a minimum of 3 days or stay for the full 10-day immersion.

Explore the synergy between the deeply supportive work of classic Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons and traditional Anapanasati (mindfulness of breathing) meditation. In addition to guided sessions, there will be dedicated time to examine how these two practices complement one another, with practical instruction on weaving both into your personal practice.

Each class will include space for questions and discussion. Between sessions, participants are encouraged to maintain silence to support inner reflection and deepen awareness. To help foster mindfulness and simplicity, no cell phones, computers, or internet access will be permitted during the retreat.

Rates include: Single accommodation and all meals. They do not include instructor fees. The teacher is sharing his/her experience within the traditional Buddhist understanding of Dana. To understand more about Dana, please read the following:

What is Dana? Teachers give the teachings of awakening (Dharma) freely so that anyone, no matter their financial means can attend classes. Each time one receives teachings, it is an opportunity to consciously practice generosity. Giving money and other means of support expresses gratitude and support to the teacher and helps to ensure that these teachings continue. Each person receiving Dharma teachings determines the kind and amount of Dāna according to one’s heart and one’s financial means. When deciding how much to offer, one should think about what these teachings mean to you and try to give accordingly. It is recommended that students make an offering of dāna at the beginning of a class or retreat to establish the intention to make the most of this opportunity for one’s own progression and for the benefit of all others.

Deposit: A 50% deposit is required to hold your space upon registration.
