About Dale

Dale is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. 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.

What Dale's clients have to say:

"I went to see Dale to help my sitting posture for meditation. Not only did I achieve the ability to sit cross-legged for an hour but there were other side benefits as well. I feel more buoyant when I walk and my overall range of motion has improved."

-- Susan Morales, MSW, owner Bodies in Balance Fitness Studio, Functional Integration client

"Dale Jensen is very knowledgeable and put me at ease during the class. I learned to move my body in a way that was different from how I normally carry myself, and when I left I felt as if I had grown two or three inches taller!‎"

-- Vanessa R., Awareness Through Movement client

"After a session with Dale, I felt loose and very relaxed. When walking I became aware of myself as a whole body - everything connected and flowing together.‎"

-- Georgia Olson., Functional Integration client
