The Feldenkrais Method is a detailed system of movements used to build your awareness of your body-mind connection. Since there is no physical separation between body and mind, strengthening this connection leads to improved well-being and overall health. Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, this practice not only corrects poor movement habits, but also helps you improve your response to crucial aspects of life including your emotions, relationships, and intellectual tasks.
Movement education uses a custom-tailored approach to improving your body awareness and movement skills. Combining problem-solving, guided-discovery, and exploratory methods, this practice inevitably leads to a stronger connection between the mind and body, creating a more natural and graceful experience of movement and interaction with other people.
Based on the Feldenkrais method, combined with yoga and Tai Chi elements
