About the Feldenkrais Method®

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education uses gentle movement and directed attention to help people learn new and more effective ways of living the life they want. You can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. Since how you move is how you move through life, these improvements will often enhance your thinking, emotional regulation, and problem-solving capabilities.

The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.” By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.

You can experience the Feldenkrais Method in two ways. Awareness Through Movement® (ATM®) lessons are taught in a group or one on one setting, with students following the verbal instructions of the teacher. ATM lessons are provided by Guild Certified Feldenkrais PractitionersCM, Certified Feldenkrais ATM TeachersCM and authorized trainees. Functional Integration® (FI®)sessions are one on one lessons where the fully clothed student is guided through touch, movement and verbal instruction. FI lessons are provided by Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioners.
