Feldenkrais Method® - Awareness Through Movement
Move better, feel better! Everything we do in life involves sensation and movement.
The Feldenkrais Method harnesses both, using your brain's deepest means of improvement (scientists call it "neuroplasticity") to create change.

Feldenkrais Method®
- Learn to organize your whole self-body and mind-more efficiently and pleasurably in all you do at the gym, at work, and at play.
- Get more pleasure and improvement from your workouts and physical practices like yoga.
- Discover how to enjoy yourself in motion and improve the quality of your day-to-day life.
- Learn how to prevent or recover from injury.
- Unlock a quieter state of mind, a natural neurological response to clarified movement.
- This class uses exploratory movements and guided attention to evoke new neuro-muscular patterns in the brain, improving your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and focus in an easy and pleasurable way.
- Invented by Israeli Moshe Feldenkrais 50 years ago, the Feldenkrais Method has been called "a revolution in human health," (Smithsonian Magazine), "the missing link in fitness," and "a users guide to the human body" (students).
