Feldenkrais is based on the idea that each of us inevitably develops unhealthy movement habits through years of going about life on automatic pilot, overusing the body in repetitive ways and nursing old injuries. Feldenkrais teaches you how to notice these stressful patterns and replace them with more comfortable efficient ones. There are two ways to study the Feldenkrais Method.
Many students do only one, others combine the two.
With Functional Integration, a practitioner works with you privately. The practitioner will guide your body with gentle touch into improved ways of moving as you sit or lie down, fully clothed. This method is especially recommended for those who require help with specific pain, injury or illness. Through Movement lessons, taken in group classes, help you make the same kind of discoveries on your own through many different movement patterns. During these lessons, the practitioner verbally guides the class through slow and gentle movements, encouraging you to find your range of comfort and ease while reducing effort or strain.
