“Self-knowledge through awareness is the goal of reeducation.” – Moshe Feldenkrais.
The Feldenkrais Method® is an innovative approach to movement and body awareness. Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, this method aims to improve physical function and overall well-being by enhancing self-awareness through movement. The practice is based on principles of biomechanics, neuroscience, and the body’s natural ability to learn and adapt.
Benefits of the Feldenkrais Method® include improved posture, flexibility, coordination, and stress reduction. It is beneficial for individuals of all ages and abilities, from those recovering from injury to athletes and performers looking to enhance their performance.
Many professions can benefit from being trained in the Feldenkrais Method®, including: Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Dancers and Performers, Athletes and Coaches, Yoga and Pilates Instructors, Massage Therapists, Musicians and Vocalists, Chiropractors, Speech Therapists, Somatic Therapists, Eldercare Professionals, Psychotherapists, Parents, Childcare Providers and Teachers of typical and neuro-divergent children.
