The Feldenkrais Method®

The Feldenkrais Method® is a system which teaches, through movement, how to improve all aspects of everyday functioning.
Through the Feldenkrais process of developing self-awareness, each person discovers and learns new ways of using his/her entire self – body and mind. The process stimulates self-development and encourages people of all ages and abilities to continue learning more efficient, easier ways of moving. By expanding the self-image through movement sequences that bring attention to the parts of the self that are usually ignored, the Feldenkrais Method enables you to include more of yourself in your functioning movements.
