Do you wake up with a sore jaw? Clench it during stressful moments? Get headaches from nowhere? Here's what most people don't realise: your jaw isn't working in isolation — that tension connects to everything. It's linked to your breathing, posture, and how your entire nervous system responds to stress.
Join us for this 5-day Feldenkrais online course and discover how releasing your jaw can recalibrate your entire nervous system, creating ease not just in your face, but throughout your whole body.
This course is perfect for anyone experiencing jaw tension, TMJ discomfort, teeth grinding, unexplained headaches, neck and shoulder tension, restricted breathing, or anyone seeking to calm their nervous system. No prior Feldenkrais experience necessary.
In this course, you will:
-
Understand the connections between your jaw, nervous system, and whole-body tension patterns
-
Learn gentle techniques like subtle jaw movements and tongue explorations to release TMJ discomfort, teeth grinding, and facial tension
-
Discover how freeing your jaw improves breathing, reduces neck tension, and calms your nervous system
-
Experience deep somatic release through subtle movements that create profound changes
-
Recalibrate your stress response and develop new patterns of ease
Through gentle, mindful movements, you'll develop awareness of your habitual patterns and discover new possibilities for comfort and freedom. This isn't about forcing your jaw to relax — it's about inviting your nervous system to find more efficient, pleasurable ways of being. All movements are done at your own pace and comfort level.
Each 30-minute evening session is designed to be calming and restorative, perfect for unwinding at the end of your day. Each session includes gentle exploration, rest periods, and time to notice changes. Practising before sleep allows your nervous system to integrate the changes more deeply, maximising the benefits of each session.
This course is suitable for anyone experiencing jaw tension, TMJ discomfort, teeth grinding (bruxism), headaches, neck pain, or those simply curious about how releasing facial tension can create more freedom throughout the body and mind, regulate your nervous system, and improve the quality of your sleep. No prior Feldenkrais experience is necessary.

What is Feldenkrais?
Feldenkrais is a method of somatic education and it is all about experiencing.
It uses gentle, mindful movement to calm down your nervous system, and realign the organisation of your whole body.
As you explore yourself in movement during this Feldenkrais practice, you'll explore and expand your movement capabilities, and start rewiring old habits that might be keeping you stuck in tension. You’ll experience how subtle, simple movements can lead to profound changes, starting right where you are.
