How does it Work?

The Feldenkrais Method needs to be experienced to be appreciated. 

Like any embodied skill e.g. learning to play the piano, or drive a car, you learn by doing it under guidance of a teacher (not by reading about it). 

Guided movement lessons enable the student to gain insight into movement habits and discover better options.

Feldenkrais is not Exercise

Feldenkrais is based on learning through self discovery.  This is like the powerful biological learning process we used as babies -  exploring ourselves and the world through using our senses and movement.

Unlike exercise, which involves strengthening and stretching muscles, you learn through "reprogramming" the sensory-motor system - the part of your brain and nervous system that monitors and controls movement. 

Like learning to drive a car, improved postural and movement skills can become part of your repertoire, no longer requiring conscious thought.

How Long Does it Take ?

is a question often asked.
Using the analogy of learning to play the piano, it takes time to develop and refine your skill.   But each step - from your first lesson, produces learning, challenge, and potential satisfaction.

It is important that you commit to the process, in order to improve.
