BENEFITS

The Feldenkrais Method is about moving really well. It's about being sensitive to your body and having the ability to choose effortless movement over struggle. It's about awareness and mental flexibility.

Sometimes what is needed is to let go of the old restrictions we've placed on ourselves. Poor use of the body can happen as a result of restrictions we adopted because they made sense at the time. If you hurt yourself your body tightens up to protect the damaged area. The brain puts that holding pattern on automatic. Problem is, when the injury heals, the holding pattern may remain long past its usefulness.

“Each one of us speaks, moves, thinks, and feels in a different way, each according to the image of yourself that you have built up over the years. In order to change our mode of action we must change the image of ourselves that we carry within us. What is involved here ... is a change in the dynamics of our reactions, and not the mere replacing of one action by another. Such a change involves not only a change in our self-image, but a change in the nature of our motivations, and the mobilization of all the parts of the body concerned.”

Moshe Feldenkrais
