What is the Feldenkrais Method ® of Somatic Eduction?
How it can help you
The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve movement and enhance human functioning. With this Method, you can increase your range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement.
What Is the Feldenkrais Method®?
The Feldenkrais Method® is a gentle, movement-based approach to learning and self-improvement. Through guided attention to your own sensations, it helps you discover more efficient, comfortable, and expressive ways of moving.
Rather than a treatment or exercise program, this work is rooted in neuroscience, biomechanics, and human development—giving you practical tools to better understand and support yourself.
How It Works
By bringing awareness to how you move, your brain begins to form new neural pathways—a process known as neuroplasticity. This allows old patterns to shift and new possibilities to emerge.
As you learn, you may experience:
reduced pain and tension
improved balance, coordination, and flexibility
fuller breathing
greater ease in movement and daily life
Who It’s For
The Feldenkrais Method® can support a wide range of people—from those seeking relief from pain or recovering from injury, to musicians, artists, and anyone looking to move, perform, and live with greater ease and awareness.
Ways to Work Together
There are two ways to experience the work:
Awareness Through Movement® – group classes with verbal guidance
Functional Integration® – private, hands-on sessions
Both approaches offer a gentle, effective path toward lasting change—helping you reconnect with your body and expand what’s possible.
The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education is a powerful and revolutionary approach to improving your life that uses gentle, mindful movement to bring new awareness and possibility into every aspect of your life. Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the Feldenkrais Method has helped millions of people worldwide.
The Feldenkrais Method is a form of somatic education developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. It uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve function, to enhance one’s ability to think and move in domains in which one wants optimal or enhanced performance. It is especially beneficial for those with high quality performance demands and for those whose performance may be impaired because of particular health conditions. The Feldenkrais Method has benefited people with a wide range of neuromuscular conditions–from cerebral palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis and dystonia to repetitive stress injuries (RSI), chronic back pain, scoliosis, Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) pain, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) and other conditions. Actors, musicians, singers, conductors, athletes and other high performers also use the method to improve and refine their performances.
