Feldenkrais Method
Does your back hurt? Do you have trouble focusing your attention? Have you stopped participating in activities you used to enjoy?
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 your 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.
We improve our well being when we learn to fully use ourselves. Our intelligence depends upon the opportunity we take to experience and learn on our own. This self learning leads to full, dynamic living.
Ordinarily, we learn just enough to function. For example, we learn to use our hands well enough to eat, our legs well enough to walk. Our abilities to function with a greater range of ease and skill, however, remain to be developed. The Feldenkrais Method teaches—through movement—how we can improve our capabilities to function in our daily lives.
People often regain youthful, coordinated, spontaneous motion. Areas of the body that were unconsciously under-utilized become accessible to bring more stamina, enhanced fitness, flexibility, and balance. Posture improves and stress and pain are reduced.
There are two aspects of the work:
Awareness Through Movement® is done in a group setting.
Functional Integration® is an individual hands-on experience.
