Felden-Stretch

Description

“Feldenkrais for stretching… Is it a joke?”

You’ve likely heard that Feldenkrais is about “no effort,” but there is a common misunderstanding here. Indeed, improving movement is about reducing effort—but reducing effort is an active process that requires a great deal of concentration, sensitivity, and creativity.

In this workshop, I am taking you away from the “no effort” misunderstanding and towards a much deeper understanding. I am taking you to visit new places.

Taking the Method Further

Stretching is a natural, fundamental need of the human body; our tissues and joints crave that expansion to stay healthy, resilient, and comfortable.

Neurologically speaking, it is well known that security and safety are the key factors in improving flexibility. This is exactly where the Feldenkrais Method excels: by teaching the nervous system that it is safe to let go, we unlock a level of movement that forced effort can never reach.

Through the lessons in this workshop, we are stretching the Method further. We are taking the core principles of Feldenkrais and moving them into new directions—challenging the limits to find where effort and intelligence meet.

Is this for you?
