About the MethodNeurological- 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”.
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.

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 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.”
