The Feldenkrais Method

The Feldenkrais Method, named after its founder Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, is recognized worldwide as an effective somatic education, which can help improve the way we move. As we all move, the method is applicable to anyone wishing to move with more ease in everyday life, improve specific activities like sports or music or alleviate chronic pains or restrictions.

How does it work?

The Feldenkrais Method is based on scientific observations of how the brain functions – especially its ability to create new solutions to movement problems. The method schools our sensory awareness and teaches us to find our own solutions. The more we can learn about how we move, the more we can let go of old unnecessary habits which restrict us or cause pain and injury. We can learn to perform movements that seemed impossible before, move without pain and better enjoy everyday activities.

Moshe Feldenkrais developed two forms for his method: Functional Integration (FI) individual sessions and Awareness Through Movement (ATM) group classes. Common to both is the invitation to take part in an explorative process which allows you to experience more of yourself in a pleasurable and safe context.
