Teachers
Our three teachers bring their different life experiences to their teaching. All are passionate about the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method. Each of us has benefited from ongoing practice and are excited to share the work with you. We honour each student for who you are; helping you to learn, through playful and easy movements, how to rediscover flexibility in mind and body.
Vita Kolodny was educated as a nurse. She was introduced to the Feldenkrais® Method in the early 90s and was attracted to the method’s focus on learning. Vita loves to teach people how they can become more aware of their movements to better use their bodies in ways that help prevent injury and contribute to well-being. She is continually intrigued with the positive impact of her daily practice of the Feldenkrais Method on all areas of her life. She was certified as a Feldenkrais® Practitioner in 2003, is an authorized teacher of the Sounder Sleep™ System and a teacher of the Change Your Age® program. She is the Canadian member on the Board of Directors of the Feldenkrais Guild® of North America. In addition to running the Feldenkrais Centre Vancouver, she works occasionally as a community health nurse in Vancouver.
Mel Krajden was introduced to the Feldenkrais Method in 1988 when he was recovering from back surgery. He credits his recovery and continued ability to enjoy his activities without pain to the Feldenkrais Method. He combines his practice of the Feldenkrais Method with a career in medical virology at the BC Centre for Disease Control.
May Nasser is a former lawyer who began training in the Feldenkrais Method in 1998, graduating in 2001. Since then, May has deepened her knowledge of the Feldenkrais Method by taking advanced classes with some of the top teachers in the field. May likes to teach the FM as a form of movement meditation, to help people develop mindfulness in their daily actions and to discover the possibility of healing and change in movement and life.
