About Dale

Dale is authorized by the Feldenkrais Guild of North America as an Awareness Through Movement™ teacher. He has a long-standing interest in teaching, movement, well-being, and healing.

He was drawn to the Feldenkrais Method as a result of a knee injury while training for the Portland, Oregon marathon. While conventional medicine, physical therapy, and acupuncture were important components of Dale's healing, it was the Feldenkrais Method that taught Dale new patterns of walking and running to prevent repeating the same injury.

Dale also found relief from repetitive strain while working in IT in Seattle. The combined stresses of computing, bicycle commuting, and holding a young child contributed to chronic pain in Dale's arms and hands. Feldenkrais lessons taught Dale to use his arms with greater lightness and ease by connecting his arms to his core.

Dale brings his experience as an environmental educator, a physics instructor, technical trainer, meditator, and aikido practitioner to his Feldenkrais teaching. When not studying Feldenkrais, he spends his time nurturing the development of his two boys, growing his garden, cooking, and spending time with his wife.
