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.
