I’ve been studying with Doron for 7 years, both in ATM classes and privately. Since March when we went onto Zoom, I’ve been taking classes twice a week and my attention to and enactment of the movements has grown exponentially. Doron’s way of presenting is generous, specific and very personal, all of which enable a great learning environment.

Doron Receiving ATM lessons with Doron has been an extraordinary experience which has enhanced my own personal movement as well as my teaching.  I discovered Doron at the start of Covid, most likely one of our biggest constraints in history. His guidance and his ability to navigate through these changing times has given me a much deeper connection with  gentle effective movement. His kind  and insightful attention provides a safe learning environment that gives you permission to go at your own pace.  Doron is a true master at what he does, he is humble, approachable and always learning. Thanks to Doron I now have more skills to bring to my students as well as myself, and I no longer carry around a cranky hip :) Doron is a rare find, one of those life changing teachers.

Doron Tadmor's Talent, skill, intuition and kindness have helped appreciably in my struggle with chronic degenerative illness. He has helped both with pain management and with general body strength. Nerves on fire, bruised muscles and overall weakness have been improved by both his visits and instructions. He is masterful in listening to the human body and teaching others to tap one's own healing powers.

A couple of weeks back I spasmed my back during a morning workout. Every time I had done this in the past, it has taken at least a week to recover. But this time, using Feldenkrais principles and hearing Doron in my mind asking me to 'play'  with the movement, to explore what makes it better, what makes it worse, to make it smaller, simpler, and smoother,  to focus on comfort and safety... The sharp pain subsided almost immediately.  By the evening it was a dull ache. By the next day, I had recovered about 90% of my mobility. Needless to say, I'm very grateful for what I've learned from this method and the gentle teacher who teaches it.

When I took my first Feldenkreis class with Doron a few years ago, I was totally surprised and amazed by my experience. It started with the gentlest head rolling movement while lying supine on the floor. The instructions were to roll your head so slowly that you might be just thinking you’re rolling it. I remember that at that moment, for the first time in my life I felt the nooks and crannies of my head and learned which way it rolled easier. I found it thrilling, and that experience began a new connection to my body, helping me discover and enjoy improved, more comfortable movements. I attribute Feldenkreis to a complete cure for my back that had bothered me off and on for years. Now that I have taken many more lessons with Doron, I know him to be a kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable Feldenkreis teacher. I highly recommend his classes to anyone interested in learning and benefiting from the Feldenkreis Method of Somatic Education.

I have practiced Feldenkrais weekly for 24 years with five amazing practitioners, each recommended by the other. With a chronic back condition, Feldenkrais keeps me mobile and pain free; moreover, it has changed my life for the better, opening up new possibilities for thinking and living. In two years of working with Doron, I have found him to be truly exceptional and gifted. In these two years I have been more consistently pain free than at any time in the last 25 years. His work is as powerful as it is subtle. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Doron is intelligent, multitalented, a skilled communicator. Highly well trained; he clearly loves and is devoted to his work. He combines all this with a generosity of spirit, sincere interest and sensitivity towards the individual needs and unique learning processes of his students. I have benefited from Doron's extraordinary Awareness Through Movement lessons for the past five years.

His classes take place in a safe, relaxed learning atmosphere which he fosters with his calm, mature authority, and light touch. Except for a few of us Doron’s students were new to Feldenkrais work but are now part of his on-going and ever-growing following. Whenever class ends I see mirrored on faces or hear expressed, the comfort and self discovery he has enabled us to experience.

I am honored to share what I know of this especially gifted teacher who demonstrates so much of what inspires me about teaching and learning, as an educator for over 30 years and long time Feldenkrais student.

Doron Tadmor is the rare teacher whose method of mind/body integration helps tremendously in reducing stress and pain in ways that are highly effective. He is a rare teacher in using uncommon methods that stimulate self learning in re-patterning how we think about our bodies and moving through space in the way of least resistance. Leaving his classes with lighter, pain free body and new ways of moving that seemed blocked or impossible, is a gift of immense importance to his students.

Through Doron's gentle and insightful guidance I relearned simple movements that were less stressful and taxing on parts my body that experienced chronic pain. The experience improved my quality of life by teaching me to re-think and ultimately relearn some of my most basic movements that I had taken for granted - movements such as sitting up. I always looked forward to my lessons with Doron as I always learned something new, and integrated the movements we practiced in our lessons in my day to day life. My experience with Doron and Feldenkrais provided me with an awareness of my body's movements that I lacked before or simply took for granted.

I constantly feel a better sense of movement and control and less neuropathic pain after Doron Tadmor's Zoom Feldenkrais sessions. I take his Monday Standing/Chair lessons out of necessity by cell phone which means I only hear him rather than see him. The experience is very satisfying and complete nonetheless.
Doron is extraordinarily clear and experienced in his teachings. I marvel that he so generously does what he does so well.
I walk better and have better balance and manage to be getting up from a sitting position more easily after these standing sessions. His instruction is careful and clear and always brings subtle positive results.

Moishy is a two-year old quadruple amputee, who spends many hours a day in therapy with therapists who are busy teaching him what to do. Doron gives Moishy and his body the tools and abilities to learn themselves. My favorite memory is of the time that both Doron and the PT were working on the stairs. The PT put Moishy in front of a flight of stairs and said "take your right foot, pick it up and put it on the step. Good. No not like that. And now the left foot." Wah! Wah! After two steps Moishy was crying and frustrated. Doron brought Moishy to a flight of stairs and sat behind him. Moishy looked, turned, thought about it, and went forward. Then he came back for secure grounding. All the while with Doron right behind him encouraging and offering security but not guiding or even touching him. At the end of that session Moishy was HALFWAY up a flight of stairs!

In Fall 2011, I had the good fortune of receiving a friend's recommendation to see Doron Tadmor, described to me as a "highly-skilled" Feldenkrais practitioner, to explore a new way of healing and loosening up the mobility of my right shoulder, which I injured a few months earlier while practicing a yoga pose.

Doron made a most striking difference in my healing process, not only through his concerted expertise and obvious passion for his profession, but also through his patience and compassion. He possesses a brilliant knack for tapping into the body-mind's unconscious healing resources, guiding one to guide one's own body to heal itself, thereby igniting the inner magic of the body's natural, innate healing powers.

I would highly recommend Doron's healing methods to anyone even mildly curious about how to improve the body's innate kinetic activities, not to mention to anyone urgently needing to heal from an injury and pain.
