After just days of practicing Meytal's hip joint class, I started taking my first steps without the assistance of a wheelchair or crouches...
Meytal's teachings have helped me to be patient and compassionate towards a body that failed me dramatically. After my stroke that resulted in left side paralysis, I felt I lost perspective. As a professional dancer I woke up to an absolute nightmare. Our shared love for dance and somatic research changed my rehabilitation process into so...

Attending the workshop was life-changing for me, a wonderful memory that I will never Forget!
For the first time, I took Fathom High classes on Deltebre Dansa Festival in Spain, where Meytal was teaching our group for five days in the mornings. I clearly remember how exhausted I was when I arrived to the festival, and then how that tiredness could suddenly disappear, from one moment to the other, taken over by the excitement and c...

... one of the strongest experiences for my body, my brain and my soul.
My first experience with FATHOM HIGH was really strong, it changed me deeply, in how I dance and in my everyday life. I didn't know the Feldenkrais method before and I came to the workshop without any expectation. From the beginning I felt something powerful happening in me. At the end of the day I was simply exhausted because my "system"...

"...the doctors couldn't really help me. But Feldenkrais does.. It's very healing... I feel reborn..."
"I'm very happy that the Feldenkrais classes have come into my life. I've been suffering for many years from back pain (due to a slipped disc). I went to therapy, took medication, but in the end the doctors couldn't really help me. But Feldenkrais does, and it does so in a flexible way by doing simple exercises. This happens in harmony w...

...I was just a witness of this amazing intelligence of the body acting naturally on its own...
When I first encounter Meytal’s work 8 years ago, I had a lot of resistance with the slowness and high concentration it demands. But when I joined my dance classes every evening after morning practicing Fathom High my body was astonishingly different. I was a very tonic and muscular person and I could taste such a softeness, fluidity and ...

Working with Meytal has been and keeps being enormously helpful, not only in the course of my recovery from a severe back injury. At the same time as it has a very immediate and deep therapeutic effect (for instance pain release and a quick integration into movement patterns that were less efficient before), it also opened up a very inspi...

"Never before have i felt so aware, sensitive and curious about my body."
“I had the chance to meet Meytal in 2013. It was immediately clear to me that Meytal had developed a really unique, specific, deep and interesting way to approach movement. Never before have i felt so aware, sensitive and curious about my body. The structure of her classes focuses on finding your own way and discovering new impulses. She ...

"Each time I work with Meytal my world changes a little..."
Each time I work with Meytal my world changes a little. Her classes taught me it is possible to really involve not only my whole body but my whole being in movement. According to me, this work asks the mind to enter a very unusual kind of listening that is at the same time focused and full of ease, curiosity and playfulness. I felt areas ...

Thanks to the authentic generosity of Meytal and her deep understanding of the method, Feldenkrais has become an extraordinarily nourishing part of my life.
The weekly online classes with Meytal are such an important time of the week. This hour becomes the opportunity to draw my gaze inside, observing how I am on a physical, mental and emotional level. The most beautiful thing about it Is that there Is no aim to "solve" or "change" anything that arises and yet, after every class, I feel so di...

"...rediscover the joy of being in harmony... Precious."
"The class was like a journey within my own body and mind, letting them rediscover the joy of being in harmony. It is so nice after all the questions and destruction one faces when going through cancer treatments and their side-effects. Meytal's comments and voice are precious and I am so so grateful to be in the class! Thank you so much,...

"...A really deep and moving experience..."
"Working with Meytal has been a really deep and moving experience for me. Through this work I could discover and become aware of feelings and parts of myself that we usually don't pay attention to in our daily life. It's helpful to me because it gives more importance to the pathway - the inner journey the body and mind are going through, ...

"Meytal allows you to create your own playground."
"Participating in a lesson with Meytal is, in the first place, entering her world - being enveloped in her voice, intonations, in an atmosphere. The choice of words and their resonance in your own body, the way different tones activate sensibilities in various body parts…..But, very soon, it becomes your own world. You enter in her steps ...

"... Truly an adventure in the mystery and delight of the body."
"The weekly classes have been a true physical education, they teach me how to move in a new way. Instead of only using force and muscle they reveal to me how I can move in a new way by shifting weight. My body has become much more flexible and the way I move and walk has shifted over time. The classes have made me aware then when I move ...

... physical meditation... Meytal draws on her own deep body knowledge and current inspirations that keep the lessons fresh.
"Classes with Meytal are a physical meditation. It is a space and time where I move into the present moment to feel the physical sensations that are present and how they manifest in playful expression that day. Practically, her instructions are clear and easy to follow and her soothing voice offers an embracing aural space. It is very app...

"... It is thrilling to discover Meytal's choreographic universe which she shares so generously."
"FATHOM HIGH has been a very important discovery in my career. As intense connections are created within my body (my muscles and my neurons are tucked into a deep and constructive activity...!) But also between different facets of my life (as an artist and as a teacher). Above all, to work with Meytal is a great moment of pleasure: we rec...

“It’s a great escape, to slow down, to stop doing. To listen and enjoy the beginning of movement. I really feel space, time and freedom. It’s also a way for me to connect with the source of energy in my body, and see how the process operate by itself at a deep level. Sometimes when I am tired I do the class and it brings me home naturally...

“My encounter with FATHOM HIGH has been liberating: I discovered there is a path where my only duty was to keep being curious about my own body and its functioning. I didn’t have to make it enter into a shape, I just had to observe and play with it. The work that Meytal proposes made me understand how this “Feldenkrais-perspective” can no...

FATHOM HIGH has been so inspiring for me and took an important part in my dance approach and development. By breaking habitual paths of movement, this work opened up for me more possibilities and helped me in facing technique issues in a more serene and conscious way. It has been a significant tool for my personal understanding of my movi...
