Anat Baniel was a student of Dr. Feldenkrais.  Growing up knowing Moshe, Anat began practicing what Feldenkrais was teaching at a relatively young age.   After university she went through a training of Feldenkrais' and then another and then she began to practice and teach as often as she could.  Anat spent years with Feldenkrais studying people's ability to reorganize their movements and integrate changes for great reduction in pain and spasticity.  Together they had an understanding of our need for comfort and the ability of our brains to change.  Over her career Anat has grown work with mostly children with a variety of special needs. She offers lessons at a center in San Rafael, California to both adults and children looking to improve their quality of life.  Anat has also created the 9 Essentials® to help people more easily utilize their neuroplasticity or the brains' ability to change and promote change.

Ian completed Anat's training program in 2015.  Currently lessons are given in Devon as well as West Chester, Pennsylvania.
