September 19: Teaching and Understanding the Feldenkrais Method—Three Kinds of Skills

Moshe Feldenkrais began his book Awareness through Movement with these words: “We act in accordance with our self-image.” He later followed up with: “Systematic correction of the image is more useful than correction of single actions.”

The Feldenkrais Training Academy delivers three key professional skills that empower every participant to systematically practice and explain the Feldenkrais Method:

• The capacity to personally develop—through experience—teaching skills of Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®.
• A knowledge base for understanding how Feldenkrais lessons are so surprisingly effective.
• Meta-thinking skills for coherently interweaving practice and explanation into applications in any field that addresses human development.

We’ll discuss how each participant discovers an individual path towards professional proficiency, and we’ll answer your questions.
