About Feldenkrais
When you know what you’re doing, you can do what you want. –Moshe Feldenkrais
The Feldenkrais Method was developed over several decades by scientist and Judo master Moshe Feldenkrais. His research revealed that how we move is inextricably intertwined with our life experiences and the meanings we have made from them about ourselves and the world. Our abilities to choose rationally and act effectively are directly related to our ability to move our bodies without the intrusion of habitual, unconscious tensions.
Feldenkrais is not just pushing muscles around; it’s changing things in the brain itself. — Karl Pribram, MD, PhD, neuroscientist
Movement is the language of the motor nervous system. The gentle exploratory movements in these lessons gradually reveal and relieve unconscious emotional baggage and the habitual tensions that go with them.
“I‘m not after flexible bodies; I’m after flexible minds.” –-Moshe Feldenkrais
Each lesson verbally guides you through carefully designed sequences of exploratory movements that gradually integrate entire movement patterns of increasing refinement and complexity into your motor nervous system. Habitual tensions gradually recede; ordinary movement functions like walking, reaching, bending, or twisting become more relaxed and comfortable; and your council of inner critics becomes kinder and more patient.
