Understanding the Feldenkrais Method:
The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle, movement-based practice developed by physicist and engineer Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. It’s designed to improve physical function by increasing awareness of how we move. Through small, mindful movements, the method helps re-educate the nervous system, allowing for greater ease, coordination, and mobility in everyday life.
Application and Scope of the Feldenkrais Method:
This approach is used to support individuals dealing with chronic pain, physical limitations, neurological conditions, and stress-related tension. It's also popular among dancers, athletes, and performers seeking improved body awareness and performance. The Feldenkrais Method focuses on exploring new movement patterns to replace habits that may be causing strain or dysfunction.
What to Expect in Feldenkrais Sessions:
There are two main ways to experience Feldenkrais: group classes called Awareness Through Movement and one-on-one sessions known as Functional Integration. In both formats, you’ll be guided through gentle, structured movements—often lying or sitting—to explore how your body moves. Sessions are calm, exploratory, and non-strenuous, helping you build a deeper connection between body and mind.
