The Feldenkrais^® Method

when we move

The movement influences all the relationships we have with our surroundings. Through movement, we relate to people, things, and situations. 
The way we move reflects our habits, our thoughts, how we perceive ourselves. However we are not always aware of our movements; in everyday life, at the gym, when climbing stairs, or walking, we tend to apply learned patterns and modes automatically and without paying attention.

movement as a journey of discovery

The Feldenkrais^® method re-focusses attention on the body and on the potential of each person, putting these at the centre of an educative process under the guidance of a teacher.
Always respectful of the characteristics and needs of each individual, the Feldenkrais® method is neither exercise nor therapy, it is a personal journey of exploration, during which the student is able to enter into a profound relationship with their own way of moving, increasing self-awareness and getting to know and use their own resources.
