Feldenkrais
Awareness Through Movement
The Feldenkrais Method uses a practice of body awareness as a means to attain a higher degree of freedom in our lives.
Recognizing and observing our habitual patterns of moving, standing, sitting, interacting and so forth, we begin to discover unknown options, enabling us to act with more ease and grace where before we were stuck in rigidity and pain.
The Feldenkrais Method uses gentle movements accompanied by a precise and detailed self-observation, enabling all age groups to participate.
Group classes, called Awareness Through Movement, are verbally guided explorations, whereas individual sessions, called Functional Integration is a hands-on method.

Functional Integration
A gentle hands-on format, based on which the ATM-group classes were developed.
The student has the chance to explore specific areas of interest such as improving or elimination movement limitations, pain issues, neurological disorders; as well as improving speech and breathing or any kind of fine-motor-skills. The practitioner uses gentle manipulative touch as well as guided awareness explorations similar to those experienced in group classes. The student will discover previously unknown states of relaxation, improved coordination and alignment, and those in turn leading to an expanded perception, a sense freedom, ease and lightness.
