The Feldenkrais Method
(“Awareness Through Movement” classes)

Developed by Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-84), an eminent engineer, physicist and polymath who was also one of the first Judo black belts in the west, The Feldenkrais Method creates a space for you to become aware of the very individual way you move, respond, act. For example, if a friend sees you coming down the road, they will recognise you from the way you walk or make some small gesture well before they can see your face.

Interlace your fingers. And then try interlacing them the other way, with the other thumb on top. How does it feel? We all have our own way of doing things that feels familiar, that feels ‘right’: that we can say feels somehow ‘like me’ - even if we aren’t clear exactly what that is. Some of these deep patterns and habits will serve us well and some will not. Some will enable our greatest skills and some may limit us in what we want to do, or cause discomfort, injury or pain. 

Based on sound neurological principles, the carefully structured, detailed Awareness Through Movement lessons invite you to get down on the floor, slow down, push less and feel what you do - to take the time to get curious, explore your habitual patterns and enjoy finding (or re-finding) easier, more efficient ways to use your whole self so that you can improve in your sport, art, performance – or just the way you move through life.
