Alice Boyd - Taken Apart and Put Back Together

Well, that was a waste of time.That was Alice's first experience of the Feldenkrais Method 25 years ago. Little did she know she would come to love it and produce a movie about the method years later.

"I felt like I was taken apart and put back together in the way I should be put back together."
That's how Alice Boyd's described her first experience in a 1:1 hands-on Feldenkrais lesson.

Alice Boyd's Bio

A Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner since 2014, Alice Boyd teaches group and individual lessons online and in-person in Portland, Oregon. She completed Russell Delman's Embodied Life program, and with her husband, poet John Brehm, she leads transformational residential retreats incorporating Feldenkrais movement lessons, meditation, and mindful poetry discussion.


Alice is excited to be producing a feature-length documentary film about the Feldenkrais.
