The Feldenkrais Method is an educational tool designed to improve human function by increasing self-awareness through movement. As we become aware of our habitual patterns for self-organization in any activity, that awareness enables us to choose something different, that might serve us better. Habitual patterns of tension and effort are introduced to possibilities that are efficient and easy.
While the Feldenkrais Method invites new patterns for movement, similar flexibility begins to occur in our thinking and behaviour patterns as well. Instead of resistance and control, we experience creativity and resourcefulness in our thoughts and behaviours. Our body is a system, interconnected to other systems around us such as family, school, the environment. When one system is affected, the others are as well. Recognizing this and bringing this into our awareness is the first step to improving our health physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
