the feldenkrais method
The Feldenkrais Method is named after its inventor, Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, Israeli judo master, internationally renowned physicist and educator. By exploring exactly how we move, and then expanding our movement repertoire we enhance the quality of our movement. We also open up all sorts of new possibilities, some of them delightful and unexpected. This unique and ingenious approach to human movement, development and learning has become popular with pain sufferers, physiotherapists, yoga teachers, body workers, sports people, dancers, performing artists. People from many different walks of life have found the method useful. Feldenkrais is not about exercise or therapy. It is actually about learning. By incorporating an awareness of how all parts of the body can move in a more synchronised way, participants can discover greater flexibility and range of movement without having to stretch. Even in the course of a single lesson participants have reported greater power without the need for strengthening, simply by finding a more efficient way to move. Feldenkrais Practitioners have participated in at least 4 years of professional training. The method is taught in two different ways: Individual lessons (called Functional Integration) and Group lessons (called Awareness Through Movement). Many Feldenkrais Practitioners are also qualified in another field, such as physiotherapy, dance or medicine. Awareness Through Movement Classes in the Feldenkrais MethodGroup lessons in the Feldenkrais Method are known as Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons. They have the advantage that students learn to be independent in using movement to relieve aches and pains. Positive changes are made without hands-on assistance from a practitioner. At Free to Move ‘Awareness Through Movement’ classes, you will learn ways to keep the whole body both supple and strong, releasing pain and stiffness and restoring more natural and upright posture. As well as being very relaxing these classes help you become more aware of easier ways to do everyday things. A healthy spine promotes improved functioning of the whole body, just as improved functioning of the limbs supports a healthy spine! Come and discover how pleasurable movement can be in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Feldenkrais Individual Sessions (Functional Integration)
Working on an individual basis gives more rapid results, as the hands-on sessions are customised to your needs. You learn to move more easily and comfortably, taking the strain off painful and overused parts of the body and re-awakening stiff and underused parts. This helps the body to function in a more efficient and harmonious manner. The ideal way to learn is to attend classes and have a few individual lessons, especially if you have chronic pain or movement difficulties.
