The
Training Program
The Training Program offers an in-depth
experience of all aspects of the method. The understanding of
how to work with others is, by necessity, preceded by a refinement
of one's own kinesthetic sensitivity. Therefore, participants
will experience hundreds of lessons in Awareness Through Movement (ATM).
Other elements of the Curriculum include:
- Discussions of the theoretical background
of the Method
- Videos of Dr. Feldenkrais giving lectures,
teaching ATM and giving FI lessons
- Perception development of whole movement
patterns in oneself and others
- Preparation for teaching of ATM
- Instruction in Functional Integration
- Individual Functional Integration
lessons from the staff
- Explorations of the relationship between
Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration
- Gaining the ability to recognize the
developmental basis of everyday movement
For a full description of the training
program see The Training Prospectus
Who
takes Feldenkrais training?
Experience has shown that Feldenkrais training is taken by people
who already practice some form of somatic, therapeutic or educational
discipline, people who are seeking a new career direction, and
people who study for their own personal development.
The Method is applicable to all fields
recognizing the direct relationship between sensing, feeling,
thinking, and moving. Typically the method has been introduced
into many fields using self-education, including:
- Performing arts in the domains of
music, theater and film, dance, voice
- Athletics: by educators, elite athletes
and sports therapists
- Somatic Education
- Physical and Occupational Therapy
in orthopedics, pediatrics and the rehabilitation of brain injuries
and neurological difficulties
