FAQs
How often should i do the individual sessions/functional integration?
If you are new to Feldenkrais, it is especially helpful to commit to 3-4 sessions within a period of a few weeks to understand the method and its benefits. How to proceed depends on your individual needs, goals, and learning pace.
how often should i do the group classes/awareness through movement?
Ideally, you are developing your own practice of self-study that goes beyond an individual session or group class. The concepts of Feldenkrais are applicable, and a wonderful compliment, to other practices and activities you may already engage in. Our zoom classes are all recorded and available for you to repeat and explore at any time on your own. The one on one work is like a concentrated version of the classes and the combination of the two is an excellent way to accelerate change.
what should i wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in, for classes and individual sessions.
Who is Moshe Feldenkrais?
Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. (1904-1984) was a visionary physicist, engineer, and martial artist who revolutionized our understanding of human movement and development. Born in Ukraine and later educated in France where he earned degrees in mechanical and electrical engineering, Feldenkrais worked alongside Nobel Prize winner Frédéric Joliot-Curie in nuclear research before a severe knee injury changed the course of his life. Rather than undergoing surgery with uncertain outcomes, he applied his multidisciplinary knowledge of physics, biomechanics, and martial arts (he was among the first Europeans to earn a black belt in Judo) to heal himself—a process that led to the development of the Feldenkrais Method®. After establishing his method in Tel Aviv in the 1950s and bringing it to the United States in the 1970s, Feldenkrais's legacy continues today through thousands of certified practitioners worldwide who apply his techniques in fields ranging from rehabilitation and physical therapy to performing arts and athletics, helping countless people discover their capacity for lifelong learning and transformation.
