Therefore the whole body is a key focus of the Feldenkrais Method. The Feldenkrais Method focusses on all of you and doesn't just look at one part in isolation from the rest of you. Awareness is a key. The Feldenkrais Method helps you build up self awareness. During the lessons the Feldenkrais Practitioner is constantly encouraging you to become aware, e.g. of how you move, how you feel, the parts of your body that aren't moving, where your attention is, what your intention is and very importantly how you can make the movement easier for yourself.
Self awareness is the lynch pin.
Rather you are encouraged to discover how you learn, what helps you to learn, and how to be able to learn for yourself. This is not like an aerobic class where you have to burn up a lot of energy and exercise yourself. You may find yourself lying on the floor or sitting in a chair and doing a sequence of movements which are unusual for you, as the Method is designed to give you the best chance of learning and to discourage you from just repeating the same old way of doing something. Practitioners are trained to have very sensitive touch and to feel how your skeleton is reacting and moving and to help you work out ways to move more easily. The pictures should give you more of an idea as to what happens.
