After having attended, say 10 lessons over 10 weeks, you will have
gained a useful tool for practicing these movements yourself at home.
Thus you will already be empowered to heal yourself!
Receiving “hands on” individual sessions, where the direct contact
helps to heal deeper blockages, also encourages your body’s self
healing powers in a different way.
Ideally one experiences a combination of the 2 different ways to
maximise its beneficial effects.
The Feldenkrais method looks at the whole person and aims to re
establish connections throughout the whole body, from all parts to all parts.
And that’s why it will improve each and every movement done
throughout the day, as well as improving the way you sleep and get
up in the morning.
Regular practice of these movement sequences will increase one’s flexibility,
enhance awareness and help one to understand movement patterns that are either
natural and beneficial to one’s life or adopted and unnatural and therefore in
need of change. By becoming aware of your movement patterns and habits, you will
gradually win control and be able to change or exchange undesirable habits for
more productive and natural ones.
This method is good for any type of movement done throughout the whole of a persons life.
Any movement literally means every movement you could possibly think of. Doing the
washing-up, driving a car, turning to look left and right,
playing with your children, going for a walk, playing an instrument,
dancing etc.– it literally will improve anything, where movement is involved.
If in your workplace you find yourself with lack of movement and freedom, or
if you have to do the same movement for a long time repetitively, you can learn
to integrate small movement sequences, done in break times to prevent the usual
onset of back and neck aches. It will also greatly improve your posture and show,
how you can hold yourself, when sitting on a chair for a long time and how this newly
acquired posture will naturally be beneficial.
As said before, it really goes everywhere and all it needs is some regular
practice to learn and understand those movement patterns and in no time,
you will feel years younger, more flexible, less aching and more able and
ready to do what needs to be done with more freedom, flexibility and joy!
