Overview

Our habitual ways of moving, feeling and acting often limit ourselves to much less than our potential. These narrowing habitual patterns are the results of numerous aspects of our lives, physical injuries, social influences, psychological traumas, etc.

The Feldenkrais Method ® uses latest insights in neurology, neurophysiology and psychology to create holistic human learning processes to help us go beyond limitations and achieve personal fulfilment. In a unique way, it enhances the human ability to constantly develop by learning.

Dr. Feldenkrais devised two teaching modalities, Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®.

The learning process proposed by the Method aims at integrating larger portions of our inherent potential towards personal fulfilment. It fosters organic learning by turning us back to the immediate experience of ourselves in our body’s movements and self-image within an atmosphere of self-experimentation free of judgement and compulsion for results.

 

The Feldenkrais Method® deals with the person as a whole, taking function, structure and environment as a single unit. Movement and posture are explored in their cultural, emotional and biological aspects, allowing space for new patterns to emerge. Through this process we become less constrained by unconscious and habitual patterns and develop more capacity to choose. That is, we become able to direct ourselves in better accordance to our potential and dreams.

 

“My first definition of health is somebody who is capable of realizing his or her unavowed dreams.”

– Moshe Feldenkrais
