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.
