the feldenkrais method:

the less we do
the more we feel


The Feldenkrais Method is soft learning


What is it?
practicing how to feel ourselves through a series of gentle movement sequences, we inadvertently unlock new gestural potential, soothing our nervous system and cultivating a deeper sense of ease and possibility from moment to moment.

Who is it for?
those seeking to connect with:
their pleasure
their craft
their patience
their self-knowing

athletes
and
artists

Those wanting to explore regaining a movement with which they feel estrangement like

putting on your shoes
brushing your hair
turning left or right

also

folks who are struggling with
pain
the climate crisis
anxiety
grief
depresion
ptsd
loneliess
dissatisfaction
self-esteem
self-knowing

Basically, anyone with a body!

the feldenkrais method:

what does it look like?



Awareness Through Movement® (ATM)

is the floor work where
we apprentice riddle-like gestural sequences alongside a very important constraint:

We invoke movements that we can listen to with ease and comfort.

we move with as little assumption as we can, fostering a quality of locomotion that is reminiscent of learning to move as if for the first time

This practice is accessible for all bodies. 

engaging with sensation requires witness, not the perfection of form

Instead we practice perception

and we lean on our imagination-
this is the access point and it’s inclusive of all body-experiences

Here is an example of an ATM:



Functional Integration®
is the other half of the method.

this wing of the work involves hands on individual support while exploring (un)familiar movements and patterns

This work creates spontaneous change.

this method can fortify our inner resources in a way that sometimes feels like magic

leaning on an now commonplace buzzword known as neuroplasticity

Science is showing that the brain can change and habits (of thought and movement) are not forever.

this method works because your brain/body knows how to adapt and how to learn, particularly when it is offered gentle and consistent reminders

through this form of sensoral study we learn to practice welcoming with our witness whatever feels problematic in our experience to enter into the foreground as a meaningful and radically honest teacher, worthy of our care and listening

The Feldenkrais Method is soft learning.



What is it? Practicing how to feel ourselves through a series of gentle movement sequences, we inadvertently unlock new gestural potential, soothing our nervous system and cultivating a deeper sense of ease.

Who is it for? Folks in pain, folks wanting to grow their pleasure, their craft, their patience, their understanding of themselves. Someone desiring further integration between their physical and non-physical anatomies. Those wanting to regain a movement lost to them. People who face moment to moment the territories of anxiety, grief, depresion, PTSD, loneliess, self-loathing. Athletes seeking to hone their chops to a finer edge, artists wanting to continue to open up to the Muse and refine their relationship to process. Basically, anyone with a body!

In the Feldenkrais Method® we can do one of two things (or both):

In Awareness Through Movement®
we apprentice riddle-like gestural sequences alongside a very important constraint:

We move to our pleasure. We move with as little assumption as we can, fostering a quality of locomotion that is reminiscent of learning to move as if for the first time.

It is very important to note that this practice is accessible for all bodies.  Engaging with sensation requires witness, not the perfection of form. Instead we practice perception, we lean on our imagination. This is the access point and it’s inclusive of all body-experiences.

Functional Integration® is the other half of the method.

This wing of the work involves hands on individual support while exploring (un)familiar movements and patterns.

Whether we will it or want it or consciously conjure it, this work creates spontaneous change in our being, and fortifies our inner resources. Through it we learn to genuinely welcome whatever feels problematic in our experience to enter into the foreground as a meaningful and radically honest teacher, worthy of our care and listening.
Methodology:



The Feldenkrais Method is soft learning.

Who is it for? Folks in pain, folks wanting to grow their pleasure, their craft, their patience, their understanding of themselves. Someone wanting to be able to brush their hair again or regain their speech after losing it. Athletes wanting to hone their chops, musicians wanting to find new sounds, actors wanting to expand their gestural reteptoire. People who face moment to moment the territories of anxiety, grief, PTSD.

What is it? Practicing how to feel ourselves through a series of gentle movements, we unlock new gestural potential, soothe our nervous systems and cultivate deeper ease.
