Feldenkrais – Awareness Through Movement

About the Method

The Feldenkrais Method® is a movement-oriented somatic education and provides you with tools for self-observation through which you will learn how to improve your abilities and your sense of comfort and elegance.

The Feldenkrais Method® is of great help for injury recovery and prevention; for finding your core strength and improving fine motor skills, for finding ease in activities such as playing an instrument, dancing, vision, repetitive daily tasks…

Neurological- or brain-related conditions such as MS, stroke, or cerebral palsy, as well as sleep disorders, and other stress-related symptoms, can be greatly improved or alleviated. This method is for personal growth. It allows you to deepen your conscious lifestyle, to find a friendlier, more humane way of being with yourself and others, and to learn the art of learning, playfully, curiously, precisely. Those who choose to pursue a four-year professional training program find this method life-changing. As Moshe Feldenkrais put it: “I am not interested in flexible bodies but in flexible minds”. No matter what aspects attract and motivate you, with patience, you will discover new, surprising possibilities for yourself, and you will find ways to live your own unique gifts more fully and with a greater sense of ease and satisfaction.

Functional Integration® (FI)

Individual sessions (FI) are mostly a hands-on method where the unique needs, wishes, and intentions of the student can be addressed.
The student can deeply relax and remain mostly passive while being moved by the practitioner. This is often combined with verbally guided instructions and more active involvement of the student so that conscious and subconscious learning go hand in hand. The entire self is invited to function as a whole, all joints, bones, and muscles are invited to participate in an even distribution of effort, which is experienced as a sense of effortlessness and grace.

Awareness Through Movement® (ATM)

Group classes are verbally guided, gentle movement explorations where students learn the very art of learning.

In numerous positions and movement sequences, the student is asked to become aware of a wide range of aspects: to feel the quality of stability & balance, mobility, smoothness of breath, distribution of effort, coordination, available range, orientation in space, timing, whole-body involvement, and clarity of self-image and intention.
A key for learning in these lessons is, that the practitioner guides the student’s awareness throughout the process, which helps the student find their own ‘right’ way of performing actions.

This method can be adapted to all levels of ability.

The Originator

“The possibility of delaying action, creating the image of an action, and then prolonging the period between the intention and its execution, enables man to learn and to know himself.”
