Feldenkrais Method
The Feldenkrais Method is an educational form of bodywork based on the combined knowledge of physics, martial arts, psychology and human development, as founded by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc.
Fundamental to the notion of the Feldenkrais Method is that human beings have more experience of movement, and more capacity for it than of feeling or thought. Movement reflects the state of the nervous system and is therefore the basis of awareness. Our breathing constitutes as movement too and reflects every emotional or physical effort, and every disturbance.
The Feldenkrais method exists as a great variety of movements, designed to include the entire human system: neurological, skeletal, muscular and cognitive. By expanding oneself through movement sequences, you become more aware of rigidities and habitual posture that cause pain or discomfort. Discovering options for new ways of moving, improves your flexibility and coordination.
