About Abbe Harris

Abbe has been working as a movement/somatic educator since 1998, and holds professional qualifications in Feldenkrais Method, Pilates and classical ballet. Her experience over the years with a wide range of awareness-based movement education methods (including Feldenkrais, Alexander technique, Ideokinesis) led to a professional Feldenkrais training in 2005."This unique learning approach helped me to recover fully from a back injury, as well as completely changing the way I experienced my body in movement. It also provided me with wider skills for helping people of all ages to use and care for their bodies with greater ease, effectiveness and enjoyment." Abbe is a certified Feldenkrais Method practitioner, member of the Feldenkrais Guild U.K and Feldenkrais Ireland Feldenkrais Method classes and individual lessons with Abbe Harris in Dublin & Killarney, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Feldenkrais is an innovative form of somatic (mind & body) education that helps people to develop more effective and supportive ways of moving and using their bodies in daily life. Classes and individual hands-on lessons are each designed to help improve neuro-muscular co-ordination and control through improving practical self-awareness skills. As new are introduced for breathing and moving with increased ease, each individual can select more effective options in place of habitual, inefficient patterns of muscular activity. Feldenkrais is suitable for people of all ages and abilities, and is widely used to help prevent back pain, relieve physical and mental tension, to help with neurological conditions (cerebral palsy, stroke, MS), and to improve athletic or artistic performance. The Feldenkrais Method can help with improvements in functioning in many areas of life, often leading to increased clarity of thought and emotional balance, along with greater physical ease.
