[I feel] a higher sense of balance, increased awareness of anatomical points of axis (joints), and smoother movements.
- Bill P., Dancer, CEO

I learn a lot about how right and left sides are different. I learned a lot about how my body is organized and engaged in different situations. I learned to self observe my own body. The first impressions after standing up from the table [after a private session] were a sense of grounded-ness, a sense of presence and inner peacefulness. [And] A sense of happiness. After sessions, my dancing felt more grounded and relax, but at the same time more engaged and connected therefore it reflected on my dancing with my partner ...

I had the pleasure of participating in some of Arona's Tango-Kinetics workshops and also had a private Feldenkreis session with her. It is obvious that she has dedicated her time and energy to master the Feldenkreis method and the broader topics of mind/body connection. She has developed a novel way to apply this body of knowledge in the context of dancing tango - a clear personal passion of hers. I found Arona very effective in helping dancers expand their awareness in the pursuit of effortless and liberated movements. Not to mention, her workshops are fun!

I am a tango dancer and not only for enjoyment, which is enormous, of course, but for therapy as well. Yes it has been clinically proven that tango has therapeutic effects on people with PD (Parkinson's Disease). In my case it has the added benefit that the slight but annoying shaking of my right hand miraculously disappears the instant I embrace my partner and start dancing. For me Arona has been not only a wonderful dance partner but an astute, patient, observant, meticulous, and effective Feldenkrais practitioner dedicated to understanding the nuances of my particular situation and to find ways to slow down the progression of my disease. I highly recommend Arona's private Feldenkrais sessions! - Marius P. , Alameda, CA

[I felt] "free in movement, hard to describe, maybe like taking off a piece of clothing that wasn't fitting so well but I didn't notice it was restrictive."
- Ian, Argentine Tango dancer

Session 1: I can tell you that I was feeling so good...I felt straight, without any extra tension in my hips. As if my hips were normally blocked and suddenly they had freedom.

Session 2: I found myself yesterday eating much more straight than usual. It was a nice surprise to see my shoulders in their place without even thinking about them.

My body did not ship with the repair manual it so desperately needs.  Arona has sensitivity to the body so deep that her brain becomes that missing manual.  At one session her fingertips enact the essential chapters on alignment; at other sessions they artfully work through the chapters on sustained healing.  If you experience pain unresponsive to your or your physician's best efforts at relief, I heartily recommend working with Arona.  Her judgement is superlative, not just fancifully intuitive.  This is why she transcends the haystack of bodyworkers.

The balance/axis/connection/groundedness is dramatically improved across my entire life and self. ... Those tiny moments of panic (when something I've never done before is led, or when I mess up) are gone from the dance. [As my dance partner said],"the playground just got twice as big."

My whole shoulder girdle is softer and lighter. My movements have more curve and flow. I feel slightly serpentine... sometimes semi-liquid or honey-like. Feels like I was moving kind of in large-ish blocks before, and I'm now more articulated and layered, that movement flows through or along my body more ... This feels like experiential education at its most basic and powerful.

Self-confidence and self-image continue to improve, I'm really enjoying this. I feel like my whole emotional baseline has shifted for the better in the last few weeks, and will stay better. Still have ups and downs, but the overall median is better. My mind & heart used to often feel like a rather unruly pack of lemurs that sometimes co-operated and sometimes not, with lots of different voices, needs and wants that often conflicted. Now I mostly feel like one animal with a range of thoughts, feelings and experiences. This is much nicer, and less tiring.
