Description

The Feldenkrais Method offers a systematic and long-lasting practice for improving body awareness and coordination through movement.
In structured lessons, participants explore a variety of movement possibilities. Attention is directed toward body awareness to learn how to determine which movement is the most appropriate, effective, and effortless in any given moment. Focusing on and deepening body awareness, experimenting with movements, and developing refined motor coordination are central elements of the lessons. These skills can be applied to everyday situations, playing music, or participating in sports.
The Feldenkrais Method can be effective in three areas:
The Feldenkrais Method has a preventive effect by raising awareness of which postures and movements are best suited to the individual: How can the skeleton—that is, the bony structure—take on as much of the work of maintaining posture as possible in the field of gravity? This relieves strain on the muscles, freeing them to shape movements on the instrument.
From an educational perspective, the Feldenkrais Method systematically demonstrates ways to use body awareness and coordination to reduce practice time, strengthen presence, and expand expressive possibilities on the instrument.
From a therapeutic perspective, the Feldenkrais Method can help with existing pain, dystonia, and tension by developing alternative movement patterns and alleviating these issues.
