Channel: Future Life Now
Date: 2021-02-17

It was our honor to sit down and talk with Elizabeth Beringer during the Feldenkrais Awareness Summit in 2019. Elizabeth has been involved in the practice and development of the Feldenkrais Method for more than 35 years and studied directly with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, in both the United States and in Israel. In 1983, Elizabeth cofounded Feldenkrais Resources to help further share the method through home-based educational programs. 

Her love of movement is even more evidenced by her long history in martial arts. Since 1977 she has practiced aikido and holds a 6th-degree black belt. Aikido is a nonviolent approach that is centered around neutralizing aggression by redirecting an opponent’s force. For many years she was an instructor at San Diego Aikikai and believes that her experiences have informed her Feldenkrais practice.

Through this video, Elizabeth shares some of her experiences in life and talks about those pivotal moments that make you reevaluate what you’re doing and where you’re going. Then we dive in to talk about posture, asymmetry, symmetry, and spontaneous movement. 

Speaking of movement, Elizabeth Beringer leads the viewers through an Awareness Through Movement or ATM class. Learn how to practice minimal effort to achieve maximum gain. If you’re new to the Feldenkrais Method, you’ll find the experience to be enlightening and, if you’re willing, you may discover a new relationship between yourself and your surroundings.
