Feldenkrais with Margaret Mcintyre. No Pain, All Gain!

More About Margaret

Margaret graduated from the 3rd Feldenkrais Professional Training Program in the USA in 1986. The work was still relatively new in this country as the first practitioners in the US graduated less than 10 years before, so a pioneering spirit was needed to get the work known. She was living in Vail, Colorado, teaching skiing in this world-renowned resort and she took her new Feldenkrais learning back to Vail and not only improved her own skiing, she introduced the work into Vail and Beaver Creek ski school and the community. Feldenkrais was not a household name, but she got the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and to work with some fine journalists who wrote articles and promoted the cutting-edge approach she was developing as a highly effective sports educator. She taught wellness programs and sports improvement seminars as well as developing a thriving private practice.

Her desire to delve more deeply into the method stimulated her to become an assistant trainer and she worked in many different training programs in Australia, New Zealand and the USA. This was deeply rewarding work and she loved working with the students, learning with them and from them as well as being in the role of teacher.

Margaret has decided to travel less and to now base much of her work where she is living, on the beautiful island of Maui. Maui is renowned as a special place to calm and heal the soul, and Maui offers diverse fun and adventure along with sophisticated dining, shopping and cultural events.

She continues to be involved with skiing and the mountains with her phenomenally successful Dynamic Skiing for Life/Integrated Skiing seminars in Vail, Colorado. Margaret was strongly urged to spend more time working and presenting her programs in Colorado, where she is so well recognized. So now she is dividing her time between two of the most beautiful and interesting places in the world — not too much of a hardship!

Margaret can still be persuaded to travel occasionally to New Zealand, Australia, England, and Europe to give seminars and personalized intensive training sessions.
