Individual Functional Integration Lessons®
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. set out to understand how we learn. His method, at its core, is a journey back to yourself.
Feldenkrais is not designed to “treat” or “fix” your problem. Instead, we will get curious, reimagine and play with relationships. The relationship of your parts to each other, of you to your parts, of you to your environment. This exploration will create the conditions for you, through the brilliance of your nervous system, to learn something new. The benefits, of finding your way out of pain and having more ease in your life, simply result from a new way of using yourself in the world.
Your brain is designed to learn. In fact, it thrives on learning new things throughout your life time. Dr. Feldenkrais understood, well before his time, what science now proves is the neuro plasticity of the brain. This simply means YOU CAN TEACH AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS! With the right conditions your brain will continue to learn and grow.
