What people are saying

“I have long been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain. I find it to be much more useful than standard physical therapy. I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method can help older people achieve greater range of motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies.”
Andrew Weil, MD, Author

“Dr Moshe Feldenkrais' method will be of great benefit to all of humanity. From my own experience I know the remarkable results achieved. “
David Ben-Gurion, First. Prime Minister of Israel

“This (work) encompasses not only an upgrading of flexibility, coordination, posture, voice and breathing, but also – and above all – concoiusness raising, sensing, feeling and thinking.”
Meir W. Weisgal, Chancellor, The Weitzmann Institute of Science

“Dr. Feldenkrias is probably the most important authority in the world today on what he terms human improvement. “
Meyer Weisgal, Chancellor, The Weitzman Institute of Science.

“Feldenkrais has studied the body in movement with a precision that I have found nowhere else. “
Peter Brook. Film & Stage Director

“The Feldenkrais Method is the most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention and reversal of deterioration of function.”
Margaret Mead, PhD, Anthropologist

“After just a few moments of the Feldenkrais exercises, people often find themselves, as if by magic, easily doing things with their bodies that they never thought possible. The Feldenkrais exercises are ingenious.”
Yehudi Menuhin, Violinist

“Following the program with Feldenkrais, patients showed significant improvement in their levels of pain, decreased medication and increased quality of life.”
.American Journal of Pain Management

“The Feldenkrais Method has had remarkable success in a wide range of complaints ranging from the debilitating to the merely nagging. “
Science Digest

From clients and students:

Your lesson in early March . . . so beautifully linked with the San Diego material of January, plus your compassion in hearing the story/ offering to brain storm with me related to my Mother's brain injury, moved me to a new place. With deep appreciation, I thank you.

Dear Mia and Leora,
I am still resonating from the wonderful training in January in New York.
I feel like a light bulb with plenty of shining in me. I appreciate the elegant simplicity and clarity of your teachings this winter and I am able to use them with such joy and pleasure in the successful movement of my dancers and students. Because we have had such a brutally cold winter here in New York City, I have had to apply the lessons to myself often, in order to keep my breathing easily available. The lessons work! I see you are teaching all over and I miss you both. I am waiting eagerly for the notice of the next segment here. PM Student,

I spent yesterday with B...wow! I could notice several major improvements... the way she walks, run, stands, and sits. Here attitude is really good...she's been getting out more. I think that the changes that you helped her make in her body, led to changes in her attitude. All I can say is “Wow!” I also watched the DVD... I can begin to see how you think about the body.
Father of CP child,

I can’t put into words how meaningful my experience learning from you and Mia in San Diego and again with you yesterday in Austin has been. I will jump at any chance I have to continue to study with you. I am interested in participating in the Post Graduate Training in Berkeley.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This scoliosis stuff is Le Bomb!
I had a new client come to see me this morning with neck and shoulder pain. Now that I know what to look for it was obvious to me that the pain is related to a scoliosis that she has.
So I gave a lesson like the lesson I saw you give B and J (kneeling over the table)--certainly not as well as you did, but the same ideas, and lo and behold, when she stood up she had grown 3/8 of an inch!
This is so fantastic!!!
Thank you so much!
Please let us know when you'll be back to teach again

This reminder to stick with what we know was both demanding and a big relief. It's a relief to know that what we know is simple and effective. It doesn't need to be more than that.

The simple message: Observe, Confirm, and Connect
The framework that Mia and Leora taught us over these five days was based on a rigorous but simple method of phenomenological observation. It can be used with any ATM, any FI, and any person, in any situation, to develop a moving, effective relationship which reveals in each of us "the essential core of a thing that makes it what it is and what it becomes."
