Feldenkrais Method

Getting Grounded Gracefully is based on lessons from the Feldenkrais Method.

The Feldenkrais Method is named after it's founder Dr Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984). Dr Feldenkrais was trained in physics, mechanical and electrical engineering and was also a highly accomplished martial artist being one of the first westerners to receive a black belt in Judo.

The Method is an educational system which engages a person in an investigation of the way they function and how they might expand their ability to function. Through an investigation of how the body organises for movement, it addresses habitual patterns of movement and expands a person's self-image. The process involves exploring novel movement sequences which bring attention to parts of the self which may be out of awareness and excluded from a person's functioning. The result is a heightened self-awareness, an expansion of a person's repertoire of movement and improved functioning where the whole body cooperates in movement.
