Kathryn Hume-Cook, Dedicated to excellence
Certified FELDENKRAIS© Practitioner FVD and certified Assistant Trainer
Born 1968 in Melbourne, Australia, I have been a Feldenkrais teacher since 1999. Based in Hamburg, Germany, I teach full-time, both in my own practice as well as within Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs. I am passionate about learning and movement and this wonderful method never ceases to fascinate me as a means for growth and personal development.
We can find so many ways to explore freedom within ourselves. Which means autonomy, agency and authenticity. I love teaching Feldenkrais classes as a vehicle for exploring attuntement with onesself... Empowering you to embrace your shortcomings, live more of your potential, avow your dreams and harness your resources.

Supporting your self-directed learning,
finding focus and orientation
As an individual, you can arrange a consultation with me in order to work through questions about your practice - be they in terms of content, business skills or other. Talk through experiences and difficulties you have had with particular clients and situations. Ask questions about resources or suggestions for following up on significant learning moments for yourself. Prepare a particular lesson with my help. Private coaching and supervision can be done online or at my studio in Hamburg.

Making a lesson meaningful:
Mini-Series of 3 Workshops
This series of workshops is dedicated to deepening the art of Functional Integration. The human connection, and your ability to make your lesson meaningful to your student allows the magic of learning to happen. Finding meaning is embedded in the choice of functional pattern you build your FI around and how you communicate with your student throughout. We will explore new variations and alternative strategies and identify when each FI might be useful, allowing you to create a bridge to someone's life and the things they really want to be able to do.

Diaphragm, Space and Stability
Post-graduate FI Study-Group (online) Strategies and Structures for FI
Structural and functional interactions between diaphragm, iliopsoas, quadratus lumborum, transversus abdominis and more make for a great potential in the centre of the body: a potential for disturbances... and a potential for relief. Directly and indirectly we can address essential connections between breathing, alignment, internal stability and support. A great control centre where impulses inevitably distribute and influence each other.

Getting to Know the Hip Joints

Clarifying the hip joints is one of the most fundamentally effective learning experiences you can offer your students. "Hip Joints Backwards" is a basic requirement for uprightness, relief of overworked back extensors, effortless sitting, easier standing and walking, and much more. On Saturday we will work in supine, with a roller behind the pelvis, on Sunday in prone, with a roller in front of the hip joints...

Directing Forces through the Diagonals
Post-graduate FI Study-Group (online) Strategies and Structures for FI
This FI in supine has a clear structure, exploring diagonal connections by pushing and pulling through arms and legs, reaching into the spine and connecting to the chest and the pelvis. You can use it to address your students ability to mobilize, stabilize and support themselves over a standing leg, thus freeing the opposite arm for reaching or the opposite leg for walking.
