The Feldenkrais Method of Movement Education

M. I. N. D.
Feldenkrais is a sophisticated and innovative method of movement education based on the innate capacity of the human nervous system to learn new patterns of moving, thinking and feeling. The method is taught in two forms – in a group setting (Awareness Through Movement classes) and in private hands-on sessions. In both settings, you are guided either verbally or with a gentle touch through unique movement sequences designed to produce more efficient patterns of organization leading to greater self-awareness and you learn to use your own senses to self-regulate your posture and movement.
