Every class I take of yours relieves enormous physical pain and has enabled greater self use.

I really enjoyed your guidance too. Once connected to my body, it was like every movement had their explanations, their pros and contras, the balance of the weight was like balancing colors in my mind. Like making a composition. The more I’m growing, the more I feel that things are about balance.
Estelle, Sweeden
You are such a genius, I have not experienced your teaching style before with anyone else and your voice also really helps me connect to my body! Now I understand why you said be open to what emerges.
Rachel, Los Angeles
What I sensed even the days after our private lesson was the back heart space as support as well (of the collar bones — like the 'wings' and the support from the back as well helps to allow the collar bones to float and the heart to be open and feeling safe at the same time). Thank you for this embodiment and learning journey.

I have had the great privilege of working with Niki in an embodiment based movement practice for awhile now. She has been very helpful working with my limitations and helping support me in expanding my range of motion among other things. As an acupuncturist, I feel such an importance in paying attention to a holistic way of being.

Working with Niki in private somatic lessons has changed me immensely, and yet at the same time has brought me back to a sense of myself I am relearning to befriend. In this I’m learning that I’m going to have to yearn for this relearn for as long as I’m here and I might as well do it with progression in this process as intention. Thank you again for guidance.

These session are so therapeutic. I was so relaxed during the class I felt kinda high. Clearly my nervous system was loving it. And my hips feel crazy. Like something is being clarified in myself. Thank you! What a pleasure to experience such nourishment and depth from Zoom.

What a joy to let a kind, knowledgeable, compassionate guide take you on a journey through the possibilities of your own body! As a pilates instructor myself, I have immense appreciation for teaching that feels like a smooth sailing and nutrient—dense at the same time. Chances are you will stand up from a lesson rewired; standing, breathing, walking, swimming, rolling, folding, bending, contracting & extending with a quality that cannot be faked, possible only through renewed faith in the wisdom of your body. If you are in any way, shape or form curious about new ways of being, lean into that interest and tune into Niki’s lessons! I wish everyone the joy of their own ‘aha’ moments.

Niki is an exceptionally gifted creative who expresses herself through the Feldenkrais practice. This quality of artistic expression gives her work in this field an extraordinary otherness — an ability to communicate with creative yet precise language that is uniquely her own yet immediately translatable and, therefore, powerfully impactful. This confident skill and open-minded inclusiveness allow her to take a heady, unconventional discipline into a place of natural engagement that ignites the kind of energy you do not often encounter but, when met, becomes transformable.

Niki de Saint Amour is an exceptional teacher: engaging, precise, clear and inspiring. Her Feldenkrais ATM lessons have offered me great healing and release I could not find previously. The impact of the subtlety of the movements is surprisingly deep and effective.
Sarah, Vermont
I'm incredibly grateful to be interfacing with The Feldenkrais Method through the playful & wise guidance of Niki. By the end of each lesson, I feel more aware and in tune with the innate wisdom of this body — I walk away feeling more languid, and whole. Each journey with Niki feels a little like a surprise: the way she uses language to gently guide our awareness in drawing threads and connections that are unexpected, yet potent. There is something to this novelty of experience that allows the dissolving of conditioning, through just one hour of dedicated movement. I value the continued opportunity to meet with the sublime quality of attention that is available through her lessons; the lightness of Being. I highly recommend taking any series that Niki offers if you are craving a space to slow down & connect with the wisdom of You.

Niki's sensitive and deeply passionate approach to Awareness Through Movement has been instrumental in helping me cultivate a profound sense of wonder and curiosity about my body's complexities and capabilities. Instead of seeing it as a source of limitations, I now view it as a vessel for exploration, self—expression, and refinement. I am always impressed by Niki's ability to infuse creativity into each lesson. I take her words with me, "Your curiosity is greater than your anxiety" as I continue on this journey of self-discovery and (un)learning.
