The Feldenkrais Method®
Awareness Through Movement®
Functional Integration®
The Feldenkrais Method® offers a unique way of making lasting improvements to our lives through the medium of movement. We learn how to move through the world with greater ease, co-ordination, flexibility and grace.
It is a somatic practice that harnesses mindful attention and gentle movement to heighten awareness of ourselves and our sensations. In doing so we learn from the inside out, making use of our brain’s plasticity – its ability to change for the better at any age.
Lessons are delivered in two ways. Awareness Through Movement® Group classes and Individual sessions called Functional Integration®. Both types are practical and accessible to people of all ages and a wide range of abilities.
The Feldenkrais Method® was devised by Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), a distinguished physicist, engineer and judo master, in response to his own knee injury.
