Arlyn Zones, M.A. Theatre Arts, is a distinguished Feldenkrais Method® practitioner and trainer with over four decades of experience.

Her workshops have catered to health professionals, performing artists, and the general public. She has also offered postgraduate seminars for Feldenkrais practitioners. Her teaching settings have ranged from schools for children with learning differences to psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation clinics.

Currently residing in San Francisco, Arlyn maintains a private practice working with infants, children, and adults addressing various physical and neurological challenges. She also collaborates with performing artists and individuals seeking greater ease and pleasure in their lives. In recent years, she has expanded her reach by offering weekly online classes and specialized seminars to an international audience.
