The Feldenkrais Method is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their natural abilities to
move, think, and feel. Whether you want to be more comfortable sitting at your computer,
playing with your children and grandchildren, or performing a favorite pastime, these gentle
lessons can improve you overall well being.
Learning to move with less effort makes daily life easier. Because the Feldenkrais Method
focuses on the relationship between movement and thought, increased mental awareness
and creativity accompany physical improvements. Everyone, from athletes and artists to
administrators and attorneys, can benefit from the Feldenkrais Method.
After experiencing Feldenkrais® lessons, people often express feelings of relaxation and
ease. They may breathe more freely and find their thoughts have more clarity. The learning
process is full of pleasant surprises and personal breakthroughs.
Feldenkrais lessons teach you the means to take charge of your own improvement and are
offered in two ways, enabling you to discover which learning style is most appropriate for
your needs.
In Awareness Through Movement® lessons, the teacher verbally guides you through a
sequence of gentle movements intended to help you develop a greater awareness of how
you move. These lessons occur in a group setting.
Functional Integration® lessons are designed to meet your personal needs. Communicating
through touch and movement in addition to words, the teacher guides you in your one-on-one
process of self-discovery.
Regardless of which learning style you choose, the Feldenkrais Method can help you
overcome limitations brought on by stress, misuse, accident, or illness.
