The Feldenkrais Method®
The Feldenkrais Method® is a unique approach to human movement and learning 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, or performing a favorite pastime, this gentle method can improve your overall well-being.The Feldenkrais Method is one of the best ways to restore function after an injury, to recover from chronic pain, to enhance athletic and creative performance, as well as to generally improve flexibility, ease in movement and relaxation.Because the Feldenkrais Method focuses on the relationship between movement and thought, increased mental awareness and creativity often accompany physical improvements.Primarily, Feldenkrais is a method of learning in which you learn to take charge of your own improvement.
The lessons are taught in two formats: group classes called Awareness Through Movement®, and private lessons called Functional Integration®.In both formats, you learn better body mechanics and discover natural flexibility and comfort. As you are able to let go of unnecessary effort, you start to move more in accordance with the design of the skeleton. This leads to a reduction of strain and tension throughout the whole body.Often, the body's movement is limited due to unconscious habits of muscular holding. Feldenkrais lessons help you recognize and interrupt these habits, and eliminate limitations and restrictions.This new way of coordinating oneself results in increased strength, grace and well being.This learning is applied to improve all of life's daily activities, as well as athletic and artistic skills.
