Feldenkrais

Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) after 40 years of study,
The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education is an innovative approach to understanding human functioning and for improving physical and mental performance. The Method accesses the nervous system and helps to identify patterns in movement and self-image. It also supports the brain in building connections with these movements so that we work as a whole, integrated system.

Benefits of The Feldenkrais Method® include increased comfort in mobility and range of motion, improved coordination and flexibility, and an expansion of self-awareness in relation to self-image. Regardless of age, gender, body type or limitations, The Feldenkrais Method® is an option for everyone.

The Feldenkrais Method® can be explored as voice guided group classes called Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®, an individualized hands-on practice. Based on the same theoretical ground, both modalities harness the nervous system's ability to self-organize towards more effective and intelligent action.

“The only thing permanent about our behavior patterns is our belief that they are so." - Moshe Feldenkrais
