Nancy-Laurel Pettersen is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education. In Awareness Through Movement® classes, participants are guided through gentle sequences of movement that translate into comfort and power in daily life.

With a rich background in academia and a passion for movement, Nancy-Laurel turned to the Feldenkrais Method® to reconnect with the physical and spiritual aspects of life. She teaches Awareness Through Movement® both in person and on Zoom. In these classes, participants’ mindful movement awakens the capacity for comfort, balance, and power inherent in their own bodies.

Nancy-Laurel’s teaching focuses on healthy movement for everyday activity and also includes classes for contemplative practices and for musicians.
