Feldenkrais: Awareness Through Movement®

Moshe Feldenkrais believed that “rigidity, mental or physical, is contrary to the laws of life.” His system of somatic education develops awareness, flexibility, and coor­dination as students are verbally guided through precisely structured movement explorations. The lessons are done lying on the floor, sitting, or standing; and they gradually increase in range and complex­ity. Students are required to bring their full attention to their experience in order to develop their capacity for spontaneous, effortless action. Self-generated learning will release habitual patterns, offer new options, and enhance the integrated activity of the entire nervous system.
