Lavinia Plonka Feldenkrais Summit

When she moved to Asheville, NC 17 years ago, she created the Asheville Movement Center, where she maintains a full practice. Lavinia was a pioneer in online learning and teaches Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement classes online.  She is the author of several books and audio programs that explore the applications of the Feldenkrais Method^® to the emotions, body language and more. Her interest in the science of body language has made her an expert on the work of Delsarte and other historical influences to the study of expression. She is an assistant Feldenkrais trainer, a certified teacher of Alba and an endorsed Emotional Body instructor. Lavinia is a student of the ideas of G.I. Gurdjieff, who like Feldenkrais, believed that no person was complete without a connection between movement, thought, emotion and sensation. She is a long time editor of SenseAbility, the Feldenkrais online magazine. And for fun, Lavinia writes a monthly column, cosmicomedy offers a humorous look at the human condition.  www.laviniaplonka.com
