Feldenkrais with Louise Chegwidden

Week of October 25, 2025

Each of us has a unique way of going about learning, as babies, toddlers, adolescents, and adults. We engage with our world through our senses, prompting patterns of movement and thinking which may become habitual; challenging or limiting our intentions.

Louise guides you through a wide variety of gentle movement sequences, which allow you to attend to the senses, observe how you move, notice unnecessary effort and tension, and invoke new patterns with improved overall coordination and ease.

Louise invites laughter, curiosity, and compassion in her classes, promoting learning that lasts. Don’t be surprised if you feel lighter, or more grounded, breathe easier, and move more joyfully.

 

Louise Chegwidden, PT, GCFP, is a lifelong movement learner and educator. An avid swimmer, rower, dancer, actor, gardener, and bee guardian, she inspires students to engage their embodied intelligence to reduce pain, and enhance graceful movement in all aspects of their lives. She practices the Feldenkrais Method in Oakland, CA, with individuals and in a weekly Awareness Through Movement class.

Louise wrote ‘Granny Gets a New Knee and a whole lot more,’ for anyone preparing for Knee Replacement surgery, or wanting to learn how to improve and maintain flexibility and mobility. With beautiful illustrations by Mokhtar Paki, this is a hands-on manual and practical guide.

Louise is currently a Teaching Assistant in the UNtraining, supporting fellow white identified people in developing the required skills to be in solidarity with targeted communities working for our collective liberation from all forms of oppression.
