The Feldenkrais method is and educational system centred on movement. Movement reflects the state of the nervous system and is the basis of awareness.We all have more experience of movement, and more capacity for it than of feeling or thought. Our breathing is movement too and reflects every emotional or physical effort and every disturbance.

The Feldenkrais method exists as a great variety of movements, designed to include the entire human system: neurological, skeletal, muscular and cognitive.

By expanding oneself through movement sequences, you become more aware of rigidities and habitual posture that causes pain or discomfort. Discovering options for new ways of moving, improves your flexibility and coordination.
