The Feldenkrais Method®
Developed by physicist and Judo master Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, The Feldenkrais Method is a unique and potent approach to improving and refining movement. Through gentle, guided lessons, it helps you identify and discard habitual movement patterns that cause pain or limit your function. The result is greater ease, mobility, and comfort in everything you do.
Grounded in principles of physics, biomechanics, martial arts, learning & development, the Feldenkrais Method addresses the fundamental organization of your movement. Through mindful, gentle, and non-striving lessons, the method creates the conditions for neuro-skeletal re-education where you discover and experience better, more organized ways of moving. This ‘re-discovery’ often leads to spontaneous improvements in posture, balance, and coordination. By learning how to move better, you can reduce chronic pain and unlock potential.
The Feldenkrais Method is taught in two formats:
→ Awareness Through Movement® (ATM)
Format: Group classes, typically conducted through verbal instructions while you are lying on a mat, sitting, or standing.
The Experience: You are guided through a gentle sequence of movements, encouraging you to pay close attention to your body's sensations and patterns.
The Goal: To explore different movement possibilities, increase self-awareness, and discover more efficient, graceful ways of moving on your own.
→ Functional Integration® (FI)
Format: (1:1) Individual, hands-on sessions.
The Experience: You lie comfortably and fully clothed on a low table. The practitioner uses gentle, non-invasive touch and movement to communicate new organization possibilities directly to your nervous system.
The Goal: The lesson is custom-tailored to your specific needs, addressing ingrained habits and limitations to facilitate a deeper level of learning and organization for significant functional change.
