What exactly is Feldenkrais?
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) originated the Feldenkrais Method. He used his knowledge of physics, psychology, human development and the martial arts to develop a method to relate our movement to the way we feel, think and learn. The method can be described as neuromuscular reeducation or somatic education. It can improve posture, coordination, flexibility and movement efficiency.

Who could benefit from Feldenkrais?
Anyone interested in learning how to improve function. People with chronic pain or injuries can improve function with less pain or restrictions. Artists, such as musicians, dancers, singers or actors can improve their performance skills. People with neurological conditions such as a stroke, Parkinson's or Muscular Sclerosis can learn to move with more ease. Feldenkrais is especially beneficial for those curious in improving their mind-body connection.

How is it done?
The Feldenkrais method is expressed in two forms.

Functional Integration:
Function Integration is a one on one hands on experience. The Feldenkrais practitioner gently guides the body through different movements to identify habitual movement patterns and then communicate and teach new options for movement.

Awareness Through Movement:
Awareness through movement lessons are verbally guided movement sequences given to an individual or a group. The movement sequences could be very simple or very complex, but they are all designed to allow a person to learn how the whole body cooperates in any movement and to discover within him or herself a more integrated way of moving.
