Feldenkrais
The primary
objective of Feldenkrais is to teach body awareness through movement.
The idea is that the healing is promoted by greater awareness of the
body. Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of Feldenkrais believed that each
repeated movement sends a signal to the brain and, in effect, lays down
a pattern that is subsequently followed. The Feldenkrais method is
designed to break such patterns and teach students how to change
distorted posture and movement.
Typically, Feldenkrais is taught in a group session. The students go
through a series of movements in which they focus on the part of body
being moved and the sensations associated with it. Students are also
taught how to release muscle tension.
