The Feldenkrais Method uses gentle touch, movement and directs attention to increase self awareness and helps you return to easy, fluid movement and balance. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy movements that gradually evolve into movements of greater range and complexity. The lessons attempt to make one aware of his/her habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and encourage you to expand your options for new ways of moving while increasing sensitivity and improving efficiency. The goal is to learn how one's most basic movements can be improved.
Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) was the founder of the Feldenkrais method. As well as a physicist and physiologist, he was a pioneer in the educational theory of movement. He considered body and mind an indivisible whole.
The Method is taught in two forms: In Group Awareness Through Movement lessons you are verbally guided through gentle movement sequences which help you learn to move easily and efficiently and Individual Functional Integration lessons add the element of touch as a teaching tool and is more responsive to your individual situation and limitations.
Lessons can be given in Dutch, English and German and there will be taken care of that you understand what is going on at all times. You can book in for a group class, a workshop (for special groups with a specific theme for at least half a day) or individual lessons. The course can also be given in-company.
The weekly Tuesday night and Thursday morning hour long classes are held in the Poirterslaan (den Elzent), Eindhoven, Wednesday evening class in the Jasonstraat (Woensel), Eindhoven. If there is enough interest a group will start in 't Brandpunt in Helmond Brandevoort.
