The Feldenkrais Method ® uses movement, touch and the enhancement of awareness for learning and personal development. This profound approach to learning stimulates intelligence and curiosity. Regular practice not only improves daily activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, running, breathing, sleeping, and so on… it also assists many in overcoming exceptional challenges. People of all ages and capacities can benefit from this sophisticated method.

The Feldenkrais Method is composed of Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI) lessons.

Awareness Through Movement (ATM) are verbally guided group lessons. These movement lessons encourage enjoyment and ease while learning new possibilities of thinking, sensing and moving. As your movement becomes increasingly free of unnecessary effort, you can develop a greater capacity to align your actions with your intentions. The shift from a goal oriented mindset to an experiential and playful approach to learning has had profound and long-lasting effects in many people’s lives.

Functional Integration (FI) are private sessions in which the primary means of interaction is through touch. In these pain-free sessions the person lies comfortably on a practice table. Through following the person’s natural stream of movement the practitioner enables improvement in movement, coordination and balance, as well as pain relieve and general well-being. This process develops according to the particular needs of each individual. Given the sensory-motor nature of these processes, often an overall enhancement of self-perception is experienced.

Moshe Feldenkrais

Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) was a scientist, engineer and martial artist. He earned his Doctor of Science in Physics at the Sorbonne, and worked as a research assistant to nuclear chemist and Nobel Prize laureate Frédéric Joliot-Curie. While in Paris he met Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, and was one of the first Europeans to earn a black belt in this Martial Art.

After a debilitating knee injury he initiated a life long exploration on the relationship between movement and consciousness. While developing his work Feldenkrais studied anatomy, physiology, child development, movement science, evolution, psychology and a number of Eastern awareness practices. He also studied the work of Gurdjieff, F. Matthias Alexander, Heinrich Jacoby, Elsa Gindler and William Bates.

Feldenkrais worked with thousands of people with a wide variety of learning needs, from infants with Cerebral Palsy to leading athletes and performers such as violinist Yehudi Menuhin. He taught a series of workshops to Peter Brook’s company at Théâtre Bouffes du Nord in Paris, and wrote a number of books on movement, learning, human consciousness and somatic experience. From the 1950s to the 1980s Feldenkrais taught extensively in Israel, Europe and North America.

“Health is the ability to realize our avowed and unavowed dreams.”
