The Feldenkrais Method is all about learning! Learning to move past pain, learning to improve performance or simply learning how enhance your self-awareness. It’s all about learning—a perfect endeavor for mothers, munchkins, and movers everywhere!
Named after the body of work developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the Feldenkrais Method is an innovative form of movement education. It’s based on a scientific understanding of the human brain’s capacity to adapt and reorganize itself in response to new experiences.
Feldenkrais is taught through two modalities. Each supports and supplements the other.
Private Functional Integration lessons are one-on-one sessions where the practitioner utilizes gentle touch, precisely directed movements and awareness to enhance learning and improve the quality of movement.The lessons can address general well being or can be designed for a specific need—such as reducing tension or pain, improving flexibility and range of motion, preparing for childbirth, helping a special needs child thrive, or enhancing creative expression.
In group Awareness Through Movement classes, the student is verbally guided through specific movement sequences as their attention is brought to their habits of moving and sensing and how the movements translate through the body. These movements can later be practiced at home so that students can take their learning and well-being into their own hands.
