Treat yourself to a private Feldenkrais lesson!
The way to get the most out of The Feldenkrais Method is to combine
Awareness Through Movement® classes and private Functional
Integration® sessions. In the class you make
more of your discoveries on your own, and they therefore stay with you more.
However, you can only go so far outside your habitual patterns when you
are directing yourself with your own intentions. A private lesson, where
you are directed by a teacher's hands, can take you into newer places. In
a Functional Integration lesson, I would guide you by gentle touch and movement
to become aware of options of movement and self-organization which you didn’t
know you had. Each lesson is custom-tailored to your unique configuration,
at that particular moment. The objective is for me to convey the experience
of comfort, pleasure, and ease of movement while you learn how to reorganize
your body and behavior in new and more effective ways. Lessons are 1 to
1 1/2 hours long, and are done fully clothed.
I especially recommend Functional Integration (FI) to anyone who
is struggling with a specific dysfunction, such as persistent pain or discomfort,
to anyone who would like to improve in a specific activity, such as sports
or music, or to someone who has been studying Awareness Through Movement
(ATM) for a while and is interested in clarifying something which they have
found elusive in the classes. You might be interested in FI in conjunction
with ATM if you are recovering from an injury, or if can't make it to regularly
scheduled ATM classes. A Functional Integration lesson could also be a way
to treat yourself to some pampering, like getting a massage. I find that
Functional Integration is especially powerful in combination with Awareness
Through Movement.
