Feldenkrais Method

Thought-Sensation-Feeling-Action

“Nothing in our body schemes is unchangeable unless we believe that it is so”. (Moshe Feldenkrais).

Feldenkrais Method is an extraordinary global system of body education that uses movement to reach self awareness and improve self image.

Every group lesson (ATM awareness throughout movement) is an opportunity to slow down and eliminate unnecessary tensions. F. Method is based on the exploration of unusual sequences practiced mainly lying on the floor. These are planned in order to refine new ways of learning trying to deepen the awareness. Being present in every gesture you make. The stress shouldn’t be on doing something in the right or wrong way, it’s an exploration, a process which gives a wide range of movement options to our nervous system. The teacher guides movements by verbal instructions inviting to explore with curiosity and creativity every little gesture and through different actions like turning around, bending down, getting up, walking, moving your head.
