Feldenkrais!
What is the Feldenkrais Method?
What does Feldenkrais do?
The Feldenkrais Method can help you to improve the quality of your life
by teaching you to let go of chronic tension, stress and pain. A deep
sense of relaxation emerges in your body and self as more parts of you
become integrated into your daily movements. Underlying holding and
movement patterns shift, pain dissipates, and ease of movement
increases.
Some benefits of Feldenkrais: get rid of chronic discomfort and pain, improve your balance and flexibility, eliminate tension, breathe easier and deeper, feel more refreshed and present.
"So are you saying that the Feldenkrais Method is mainly about movement and relaxation?"
Actually, no. Feldenkrais is about awareness, how to take effective action in the world and ultimately how "turbocharge" your own self-development. Very often, in fact most often, increased movement and greater relaxation come out of the process, but relaxation and better movement is a "side effect" and not the main reason for doing the work.
"How does the Feldenkrais Method Work?" That's a fairly large question. Feldenkrais can be though of as safe, fun "puzzles" for your nervous system and brain. Each designed to help you learn patterns about yourself an the the world. It helps you remember, learn and create new patterns of behavior. For now, let's focus on the two main forms of Feldenkrais that you may experience if you see a Feldenkrais Practitioner or go to a Feldenkrais Training or workshop. There are two modalities of the Feldenkrais Method: Functional Integration and Awareness Through Movement
Feldenkrais, Functional Integration is hands-on developmental movement, done clothed on a massage-type table. Feldenkrais lessons are approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Sessions revolve around whatever specific issue you want to change or experience that you are interested in having. Sessions are deeply relaxing, easy and gentle and should not be painful.
Feldenkrais, Awareness Through Movement lessons are group lessons in which participants are verbally guided to explore developmental movement sequences. Feldenkrais lessons are not exercise. Nor are they judgmental or competitive. You will be involved in your own process as the others around you will be involved in theirs.
I currently do not teach public Feldenkrais lessons nor give sessions. If you wish to try an Awareness Through Movement Lessons you can download and try a free Feldenkrais mp3 session in the Feldenkrais download store To find a licensed, qualified teacher please go to www.feldenkrais.com
