She worked with Dr. Feldenkrais in both the San Francisco and Amherst training programs, and for over 20 years has been leading her own training programs worldwide. Mia is renowned for her inspiring presentation, her ability to present the essence of the Feldenkrais Method, and her skilled mentoring of Feldenkrais Practitioners. Mia maintains her home near Tel- Aviv, Israel.

Chava Shelhav was born in Israel, and was part of Dr. Feldenkrais' first formal training from 1968-1971 in Tel-Aviv. She is a certified physical education teacher, holds a master's degree from Boston University where her thesis was 'Working with Brain Damaged Children Using the Feldenkrais Method', (available from Feldenkrais Resources) and in 1998 she was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg, where her doctorate examined the effects of the Feldenkrais Method on learning processes.

Arlyn Zones, M.A., (Theatre Arts), studied and worked in theatre for many years. During the Amherst training, she first became aware of the potency of Feldenkrais lessons with the process of freeing the natural voice. Arlyn has been a Trainer since 1994. While teaching in trainings she has realized the crucial role the voice plays in a teacher's ability to convey our work. She has also been pleased to note the tremendous vitality and joy that students experience when working with lessons that increase the vibratory power and clarity of their own voices. Arlyn is the director of Feldenkrais trainings in Toronto and Berkeley, and lives in San Francisco.
