Moshe Feldenkrais
Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) was born in Ukraine and earned his doctoral degree in physics and engineering from Sorbonne University. He was a distinguished scientist and after conducting research with Nobel Prize Laureate Frederic Joliot-Curie in the Joliot Curie laboratory, he discovered the SISS (submarine integrated sonar system). After the encounter with Professor Kano who developed Judo, Moshe was one of the first Europeans to earn a black belt in Judo and founded the Ju Jutsu Club of Paris in 1936.
Later in his life Dr. Feldenrais suffered a serious knee injury while playing soccer. Despite the diagnosis that he would be unable to walk or be forced to use a wheelchair, he regained his ability to walk by himself. This injury prompted him thoroughly investigate his situation. From a scientist’s perspective, he researched how moving, sensing, feeling, and thinking all relate together within the cerebral function system in all its aspects. He applied his knowledge of physics, body mechanics, neurology, and discovered a revolutionary theory and method.
His work achieved phenomenal results especially in the field of encephalopathy which has been proven and supported by recent discoveries in the cerebral sciences and drew attention from around the world.
What is the Feldenkrais Method?
It is essential to notice and explore how to organize yourself in diversified movements in order to change and refine functioning. Applying knowledge and information from the outside world and making tremendous efforts can’t change our physical and psychological habitual behaviors that happen unconsciously.
This method stands out in its focus on how to free us from our habitual movement patterns and learn new ones by moving deliberately and gently. The exploration takes place with feeling, sensing, and observing how the body moves and these changes emerge in gentle movements. We examine these movements with ease.
Through the collection of experiences in more efficient and effortless movements of various forms, we develop the ability to learn how to learn, and begin the process toward these goals with ease and grace even though it may have seemed impossible to reach them and improve our self-image.
Expected improvements:
l Flexibility, posture, and coordination

Training Curriculum
The Feldenkrais training is designed to introduce and incorporate an understanding of both Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI).
Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons
These are group sessions. There are hundreds of different movement lessons organized to evoke a learning process with a childlike, free spirited, and playfulness attitude, and also to revisit the process of evolutional-based patterns.
You don’t simply copy poses or forms of the movements. Instead, you are led through a series of structured movement sequences with verbal instructions. This approach is designed to employ imagination, attention, and perception. Then the movements are executed gently at a slower pace to explore the optimal ones for you.
In this process you realize “do less, gain more” is true for learning. If you move slowly with less effort regardless of the range of motion, focus on your own comfort and being in a relaxed state, your brain can learn more. This is quite the opposite of “No pain No gain’.
Functional Integration (FI) Lessons
These lessons are an individualized hands-on interaction specifically designed to meet the needs of participants. Practitioners, primarily through the use of their hands, guide students to new and more varied forms of practice. The quality of touch itself is non-invasive, informative, and interactive in nature. Students usually lie or sit on a relatively low table, and are dressed in comfortable attire.
These individualized sessions encourage the awareness of underlying stress and inefficient habitual movement patterns so that students can look for more efficient ways to harmonize mind and body. FI is the fundamental aspect of this method.
Well-trained and experienced Feldenkrais practitioners are able to observe participants with their individualized talents and guide them through to find their own solutions to movement-related issues, which often exist in the realm of the subconscious in the brain.
