1st Term:
Exploring the Principles of the Method
In the Feldenkrais™ Method, improvement doesn’t come from pushing, pulling or stretching, but through a completely different approach. Alongside the fascinating sequences of movements that we explore, there are guiding principles: using attention, moving slowly, taking breaks, respecting our limits, and minimizing effort. So, what lies behind these ideas, and why do they make improvement so easy?
2nd Term:
Moving Easily from One Position to Another
Some transitions happen so quickly that they are over even before we realize they occurred. Others cause us great anxiety way before they happen. The way we change position in bed, move from a lying to a standing position or from standing to sitting, reveals a lot about how we deal with the world. This series will address our own resistance to difficulty, how to make movements comfortable and pleasurable and how to be more present to ourselves.
3rd Term:
Study of the breath (Suite)
Feldenkrais never taught the “correct” way to breathe nor the “correct” way to do anything for that matter.
Instead, he gave us the means to sense and to explore different ways of doing the same thing. This not only increases our awareness of the parts that make up the breathing, it also allows us to choose what is most efficient and comfortable for us, depending on the circumstances and our activities.

1st Term:
The mobility of the back II
The central axis of our body allows for both stability and flexibility. Our way of life often emphasizes the static aspect, while the variety of movement possibilities tends to be overlooked. The aim of the Feldenkrais Method® is to release us from the effects of limiting behaviour patterns. In this second series about the directions of movement of the spine, you will experience how to develop more mobility without having to rely on increased effort or mindless exercise.
2nd Term:
Moving from the middle
Both expansive and powerful movements require the use of the pelvis. It is the biggest bony structure of the human skeleton, and around it are found the strongest muscles. The pelvic area forms therefore our power centre and is the motor for many of our movements. In order to fulfil this task, the pelvis has to be able to move freely.
In this course we will explore the movement possibilities of the pelvis and experience the necessary cooperation with the rest of ourselves. It is only then that well-coordinated movement is possible.
3rd Term:
The articulations of the legs
Standing, kneeling and sitting; walking, running, hiking; sitting down, bending down or lying down – all these activities require the cooperation of all the joints of the leg. In this course you will be able to experience how more complete contact of the feet with the floor improves upright posture, how greater mobility of the legs gives more stability, and how better standing allows you to let go of tight and immovable parts of yourself.
