The Feldenkrais Method optimally utilizes and promotes your lifelong learning ability! You expand your personal skills and problem-solving abilities as well as your self-image. This creates optimal conditions for physically and emotionally adapting to new life situations, growing from them, and learning new things in the process.
We all move, each in our own unique way. Mohe Feldenkrais recognized and researched the connections between movement and neuroplasticity. In addition, movement, thinking, feeling, and acting are closely interrelated and have a direct influence on our well-being (physical, emotional, mental).
In the Feldenkrais Method, movement is used as a tool, explored mindfully and playfully, to refine and expand awareness, quality, and complexity in the overall organization, always in relation to gravity. Movement becomes harmonious and authentic. A pleasant side effect is a more relaxed, supple, and powerful body! Power comes from good organization and use of the whole.
Sports injuries, for which doctors gave Moshe Feldenkrais little hope of ever walking without pain again, prompted Moshé Feldenkrais to explore his own movement patterns. He drew on his observations from martial arts and his scientific background, drawing on sources such as evolutionary, cognitive, and behavioral research, medicine, psychology, pedagogy, anthropology, and systems theory.
Over decades of research, he developed the Feldenkrais Method®, named after him . His understanding of movement as the basis of all human action and activity creates a framework in which it becomes clear that our lives are a continuous field of learning. His extraordinary achievement is the combination of abstract science with a practice that everyone can experiment with in their own way.
