Mag. art. Irma Denk MAS

Feldenkrais® practitioner,
alba emoting® breathing trainer

Irma teaches her clients how to move freely with astonishing ease at almost any age.

Irma uses gentle, respectful touch to enter into a non-verbal dialog with her clients. The questions she asks with her hands create conditions for self-regulation and reorganization.
There is nothing to do but enjoy and be surprised. But by what? From the intelligence inherent in our nervous systems, which strives for balance (homeostasis).

Following Functional Integration®, the direction in which this self-regulation process has developed becomes clear in everyday movements such as sitting, walking and also when exercising or making music. The discoveries are manifold. As varied as movements are. It is very often reported after an individual lesson that an unaccustomed lightness has set in.

Her joy of movement and her experience with dance, Contact Improvisation and Authentic Movement, as well as 17 years of Hatha Yoga (according to Vanda Scaravelli) complement her internationally recognized 4-year Feldenkrais training under the guidance of psychotherapist and Feldenkrais teacher Donna Ray.

Awake your sensory system. Do less. Do Feldenkrais.
