10 GOOD REASONS TO DO FELDENKRAIS

  • IT TRAINS YOUR MIND AND BODY

    A method of real somatic education that teaches you to function better in your everyday life and allows you to improve the functions of your body and brain.

  • IT STIMULATES THE BRAIN AND MAKES US MORE AGILE AND FLEXIBLE

    Through your body, you send new stimuli to your brain. This creates new neuronal connections, which set you free from non-functional habits and automatic actions. The Feldenkrais® method allows you to see things from a different perspective, increasing your independence.

  • IT KEEPS YOUR BRAIN ALIVE AND STIMULATES YOUR CURIOSITY

    Each Feldenkrais® lesson, through unexpected movement combinations, teaches you something new. You never mechanically repeat a movement or a position; this would make your system bored and it would stop learning. By keeping your brain and curiosity active, your ability to be surprised and amazed is enhanced. Therefore, you get to know yourself in an entertaining way.

  • IT SUBSTITUTES EFFORT WITH INTELLIGENCE

    With the Feldenkrais® method, you increase the organisation of your neuromusculoskeletal system and therefore your strength. By avoiding effort, you waste less energy and get rid of the unnecessary. Instead of only having big muscles used to perform big actions, you will have intelligent muscles used to act efficiently.

  • IT DEVELOPS THE ABILITY TO SENSE, SENSE, THINK AND MOVE

    By changing our approach to the world and ourselves, the Feldenkrais® method helps us developing our ability to feel, sense, think and move. It connects us to life, to the world, to people around us, to gravity… it makes us more sensitive, empathetic, flexible, adaptable and creative.

  • IT ENHANCES OUR AWARENESS AND THE ABILITY OF BEING PRESENT TO OURSELVES

    Feldenkrais® lessons do not invite you to escape the moment, to stop thinking or to disconnect from the present. Quite the opposite, they guide you to be in the present moment, here and now. They help you to get to know yourself better and to connect to the deepest parts of you.

  • IT FOCUSES ON QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY

    The Feldenkrais® method improves the quality and efficacy of your mental and physical actions. By learning to organise better – instead of making more effort – you will improve the agility of your movements and the natural control you can have over them. You will never be asked to go beyond your possibilities, to stretch or to hold a position for a certain amount of time. You will use your muscles with intelligence, to reach a functional organisation, with not useless efforts.

  • IT TEACHES YOU TO SLOW DOWN: NO GOALS TO ACHIEVE

    Feldenkrais® invites you to slow down, to reduce the background noise of your nervous system, to enjoy silence and the resting times you are given, to observe what is happening during the movement. It encourages you find your own rhythm, in order to face everyday life in harmony and recuperate your vitality.

  • IT INVITES YOU TO ENJOY THE EXPLORATION YOUR MOVEMENTS

    Feldenkrais® does not encourage you to suffer a little bit more in order to reach a specific muscular tonus or elasticity or to get the perfect body. Each person will be able to focus on improving what is important to him/her. This can be a movement, perception, elasticity, range of movement, etc. You will be able to find your own easiest, most pleasant and satisfying movement and you will learn how to learn from your own experience, without an ideal model to emulate.

  • IT INTEGRATES AND UNITES INSTEAD OF SEPARATING

    The Feldenkrais® method helps your skeleton, muscles and senses to functionally cooperate in order to reach their full potential. It does not train your muscles individually (abs, biceps, glutes, etc.) and does not separate the different parts of the body (knees, hips, shoulders, etc.). Feldenkrais unites, connects and integrates each part of the person, improving the quality of everyday actions.
