Feldenkrais' Awareness Through Movement.


Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais created and developed the Feldenkrais Method throughout his life. This approach is designed to create and then strengthen the mind/body connection through holistic means. Most of this connecting happens during a lessons called Awareness Through Movement. The term is perfect because it describes exactly what is happening during the lessons. As students move, they're directed by an instructor to focus on different parts of their body, to recognize how muscles, joints, bones, and everything else works together to make movement happen. Then, they make tiny adaptions to see how that changes the movement. Through small adaptations, a deeper awareness develops and the ability to communicate more directly with the body is created. This can be a life-changing experience and open doors to joyful movement that had not been explored before.
