Group Feldenkrais Classes: Awareness Through Movement

Feldenkrais classes are known as Awareness Through Movement and are based on a very precise study of how the nervous system learns. Many of the classes are grounded in infant development patterns, others are subtle investigations into function: such as how does force translate through to foot to the pelvis, how does this relate to the muscles of the back, or impact breathing?

Every one of the thousands of lessons comes complete with many questions for the nervous system to investigate.  The process of paying attention to the movement is actually more important than the movement itself.

Are These Classes for You?

People often ask about Awareness Through Movement classes. Is it like yoga? Pilates? The short answer is yes and no. Yes, because we are utilizing attention and awareness. No, because how we go about it is nothing like Pilates and Yoga.

In fact, we never go to the point of stretch or strain. Rather, we move more and more towards finding appropriate effort and redefining what is easy.

Feldenkrais is not just pushing muscles around, but changing things in the brain itself. —Karl Pribram, M.D., Neuroscientist
