About
the Feldenkrais® Method
"The aim
is a body that is organized to move with minimum effort and maximum efficiency, not through
muscular strength, but increased consciousness of how it works."

Moshe Feldenkrais developed
the Feldenkrais Method out of a need to heal his own knee injury. The work
consists of group classes as well as individual hands on sessions. In the classes called
Awareness through Movement® a student performs gentle verbally guided movement
with mindful attention. In Functional Integration® hands on sessions the practitioner
uses gentle, non-invasive touch while you are fully clothed to guide you to an awareness
of habitual movement habits as well as an exploration of possible alternatives.
The aim of both Awareness through
Movement and Functional Integration is to help you discover more efficient
and effective ways of moving. This can enhance rehabilitation and ease chronic pain and
tension. The Feldenkrais Method can also improve flexibility, balance, coordination
and posture as well as prevent injury and improve performance in athletics and artistic
pursuits.
"To make the impossible
possible, the possible easy, and the easy elegant."
