Our Instructors 


Bridget Thompson, GCFP
Feldenkrais Practitioner®, 2nd degree black belt in aikido and director of m’illumino, draws on her experience in dance, yoga, aikido, zazen (zen meditation), midwifery and the Feldenkrais Method®. For over 30 years she has studied what it means to learn and heal, teaching people of all ages in Africa, Europe and North America. Her emphasis, interest and passion are in the illumination of Self, and the expression of Spirit through the individual - but really she is simply compelled to MOVE and loves to find the most graceful, natural and effective way of doing just that.
