1st Term:
The spine: inner axis and flexible rod
The spine, which is naturally curved, is made up of different types of vertebrae. On the one hand, it needs to be flexible and bend like a bow in order to facilitate movement. On the other, it needs to lengthen, to become stable and to provide support. Ideally it adjusts freely according to the needs of our moving self.
Anyone, including those who have difficulties or injuries to the spine can regain confidence by learning to distribute movement along its length thus taking pressure off overly used, sensitive areas.
2nd Term:
Exploring right/left differences
Have you ever wondered why you have a difficulty on one side of the body rather than the other? Or why you feel more confident about the abilities of one side?
In the Feldenkrais Method™ we acknowledge that limitation and skill are the expression of how the whole self is organizing at any given time.
We will use movement and awareness to identify our own tendencies and investigate notions about symmetry and asymmetry.
3rd Term:
Study of the breath
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
Contrary to common belief that one has to strengthen the back in order to straighten it and get rid of back pain, the Feldenkrais Method™ assumes that it is the natural mobility of the back that takes care of this. On the other hand, any rigidity and stiffness limit the possibilities that the back should have. It is when it recovers its elasticity and manages to react adequately to all demands that it becomes a healthy back.
2nd Term:
Freeing your head
Keeping your head up is becoming increasingly difficult in a world dominated by screens. Unfortunately, we don’t realise that our whole body is adjusting in order for our head to enter the digital world. We suffer from headaches or neck pain, we breathe badly and our vision deteriorates without us knowing why. This term’s theme is about how to get out of this vicious circle, and re-experience the head fully above the trunk and available to move in all directions without hindrance.
3rd Term:
Free arms and shoulders
Apart from strength, mobility is the main characteristic we seek in our arms. It signifies independence of movement. But the shoulders, the hinges with the trunk, also need to be loose for our arms to function properly. Whether we’re playing a musical instrument, practising a martial art, drawing or putting something on a high shelf – the variety of arm movements is obvious and infinite.
