Feldenkrais is learning to experience more ease and connection in your body by paying attention to subtle details of how you move. Expanding your adaptability / flexibility with new coordination patterns; using more of yourself to support an action so as not to overload /strain one area. It’s about being able to recognize your body’s signals of when you need to rest and when something is well supported – allowing you to better look after yourself in life.
Working one-on-one in Feldenkrais is known as Functional Integration®. Functional Integration explores the unique habits / patterns you have acquired in how you function/ move to discern what’s helpful, what’s extraneous and what little detail / shift reduces the amount of effort expended in each action, to integrate the support of your whole body and prevent strain in isolated areas. The practitioner uses gentle touch and moves you in subtle ways that connect different areas of your body together in functional movement patterns so that your sensory experience of moving becomes more integrated, connected & supported. We explore what you’re most interested in improving. A Functional Integration session is subtle, specific and very soothing. The shift in how you feel when you come up to standing at the end of the session can be surprisingly profound.....
