Abbe Harris

Abbe’s background is in dance, and she has been working as a movement/somatic educator since 1998. She has trained extensively in the UK, US, and Holland, and holds professional teaching qualifications in classical ballet, Pilates, and Feldenkrais Method.

Abbe was one of the first teachers to introduce Pilates to Ireland in 2000, and was a co-founder & director of Dublin Pilates Studio from 2002-2006.
She first experienced Feldenkrais Method in 2001, along with a variety of mind-body awareness approaches (Ideokinesis, Alexander Technique). After an intensive course of Feldenkrais lessons helped her to make an excellent recovery from a back injury, she trained in the method and subsequently moved her practice full-time into this field from 2007.

Particular areas of experience include working with back pain, posture, stress reduction, pre & post-natal care, and developing performance-specific programmes for sports (golf, running, swimming) and the arts (dance, theatre & music). A wide range of people attend classes and individual lessons at Feldenkrais Dublin – from older people with restricted mobility, to actors, musicians and athletes wishing to improve performance.

Abbe is a certified Feldenkrais Method practitioner, and member of the Feldenkrais Guild U.K (www.feldenkrais.co.uk) and Feldenkrais Ireland (www.feldenkrais.ie).
