What is it?
Good question!
First of all, here’s what the Feldenkrais Method® isn’t -
It isn’t a therapy or exercise system.
So then - exactly what is it?

How Did the Feldenkrais Method® Develop?
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) was an engineer, physicist and Martial Arts Expert.
Early in life, he developed an extensive knowledge of linguistics, biology, perinatal development, forensic science, athletics and a love of Sherlock Holmes!
Dr. Feldenkrais suffered a severe knee injury, but instead of opting for surgery, he taught himself to walk again. This event was the catalyst for the development of the Feldenkrais Method®.
How do You Teach the Feldenkrais Method®?
I teach the Method in two parallel forms -
1. Awareness Through Movement® group lessons - taking the group through a series of specially choreographed, repeated movements.
2. One to One Sessions or ‘Functional Integration lessons’.
Is The Feldenkrais Method® For me?
Yes - if you suffer from pain, discomfort or stress, resulting from accident, injury or illness.
- Are you a new Mum with a bad back or shoulder problems due to carrying and feeding?
- Do you suffer with Parkinson’s?
- Are you recovering from a stroke?
- Have you been injured in a car accident?
- Or perhaps you’ve been badly hurt playing sport?
- Do you need to re-learn how to walk or run?
- Is your problem physical or psychological or both?
These are just a handful of the people whose lives can be radically enhanced by following the Feldenkrais Method®. For detailed information …
