FELDENKRAIS METHOD

 

The Feldenkrais method is an awareness of the body through movement, and

a global approach to the human being.

The main expression of the activity of the nervous system is the

movement; it is the bodily translation of intention. This is not only a work 

on the body but also an education of the kinesthetic sense leading to a more 

nuanced body awareness which, in turn, refines the functioning of the 

nervous system.

It is therefore a question of creating the necessary conditions for the nervous 

system to enrich itself with new connections and thus allow a better 

adaptation of each person to the situation of the moment. 

 

To become aware of oneself, of one's body, through movement, is to become 

aware of the movement that one makes in all one's body structure. It is to 

become aware of the relationships between the different parts of the body in 

space, and this in the whole of the action.

The intention is to get organized in order to move with a minimum of effort 

and a maximum of efficiency, not only through muscle power, but also 

through increased awareness of how it works.
