Jeff studied directly with the founder of the work, Moshe Feldenkrais and graduated from his own professional training program in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1983. In the following 10 years he developed and refined his skills building and extensive private practice in Seattle. It was during this time in 1988 that he met his spiritual teacher, Ken Lloyd Russell (www.thewayofseeing.com). Ken’s teachings have had a major impact on Jeff’s life which is reflected in his teaching of the Feldenkrais Method. In addition he built a movement arts center where classes in Feldenkrais, Aikido, Yoga, Tai Chi, meditation were offered.
