Kathryn Hume-Cook, Dedicated to excellence
Certified FELDENKRAIS© Practitioner, Certified FELDENKRAIS© 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.

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.

Advanced: "Directing Forces through the Diagonals"
Post-graduate FI Study-Group (online) "Making a Lesson Meanigful"
Exploring diagonal connections by compressing or lengthening through arms and legs allows us to reach into the pelvis, spine, chest and shouldergirdle. Helping your student to sense a clear transmission of force through the trunk can be useful for addressing their ability to mobilize, stabilize and support themselves over a standing leg, thus freeing the opposite arm for reaching or the opposite leg for walking.

Advanced: "Fundamentals of Human Organisation"
15th-19th October 2025 in Shamballa Retreat Centre, Sintra, Portugal
Our ATM lessons based on primitive and developmental movement patterns help to develop agency, self-reliance, confidence and resilience through movement. In this workshop we will explore movements the human body was designed for: building the basics for running, jumping, moving on all fours, balancing, squatting and climbing... and taking those basics into joyful, collaborative experience. We will work with dynamic ATMs which emphasize moving into physical competence. In FI we will explore strategies which allow us to impart this sense of physical, mental and emotional capability to our clients.

Functional Integration for practitioners and students
Individual lessons for growth and deeper personal understanding
No matter how many years we work as Feldenkrais practitioners ourselves, we remain human beings subject to all the ins and outs of life. Our journey continues with new discoveries and set-backs.
Receiving FI lessons is an integral part of our ongoing practice and devleopment, both as practitioners and as human beings. It can help to gain new perspective, remind oursleves of our ability to self-regulate and re-find the elusive obvious. I will address your individual needs specifically and sensitively and use my competence and experience to offer the best possible framework for your lesson.

first-hand & begin a journey of growth
As most of my classes for the public are taught in German, especially those in person, you will find these offers on the German version of my webpage. Miniworkshops, Retreats on Sylt, weekend Seminars in Hamburg or packages of evening clases online are all great opportunities to embrace possibility and discover how listening to yourself through movement can change your life. It is not a problem if your German speaking skills are basic. As long as you can follow most of the instructions you will be fine, and I can help you out if needs be.
