Functional Integration - Movements Guided by Practitioner Awareness Through Movement Classes
The Feldenkrais Method is a revolutionary way of understanding the human body, and of maximising its potential. It sees the body and the mind as one single, active process in relationship with the surrounding environment. It celebrates the human capacity for unlimited learning and development. it explores the idea that a healthy system is one that RECOVERS QUICKLY from illness or injury, rather than one that is not sick. This unique view of the human body/mind is derived from it's orginator, Moshe Feldenkrais's, expertise in engineering, human movement and child development.
The Feldenkrais Method is ideal is you suffer from such sources of discomfort as: stiffness in the back, neck and shoulers; chronic or recurrent injuries; shortness of breath; insomnia; problems with balance or coordination. If you are free from discomfort, it can help you enrich your body's movement in exatrordinary ways.
Classes in the Feldenkrais Method consist of uncomplicated patterns of movement, guided (verbally or by means of touch) by a practitioner. Over the course of a 45-75 minute session, the practitioner will bring you and and your body into a state of calm, ease and potential. You do not have to be an athlete, or even consider yourself to be phsyically fit, to take part in classes.
By the end of the session, the movement you make will be lighter and smoother, your breathing will be deeper and calmer and the way you see and respond to the world around you will have changed.
Perhaps your job has specific physical requirements the performance of which you would like to enhance or improve. Or perhaps you simply have the feeling that, in your life you could get more out of your body, your movement or yourself if only you could have access to some new ideas. Whatever your reason for coming, you will find something extraordinary and helpful in The Feldenkrais Method.
