The Feldenkrais Method
When asked to describe his method in one sentence, Feldenkrais said: “Know thyself.” This method is about changing habits and improving movement organization, but it is also about the mental and emotional self-awareness this process brings about.
Movement, thought, sensation and emotion are closely linked, forming the essential elements of who we are and of everything we do. Improve the way you move and you will change the way you feel, think, and perceive the world and yourself.
Feldenkrais lessons use many strategies: guiding attention to different sensory aspects of movement, exploring coordination, timing and relationships between body parts, using small and slow movements to improve sensitivity and sensory processing, varying orientation, challenging balance, and activating imagination and visualization.
