‘It's all in the way you move’
An innovative approach to movement and rehabilitation, the Feldenkrais Method® uses mindful movements to help relieve stiffness, pain, and restrictions. This unique method can help you experience lasting improvements in physical and mental well-being.
It has never been easier to access the Feldenkrais Method with regular Zoom or in person classes.
Developed by physicist and movement expert Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, this method uses gentle movements without force, sweating, or strain. The goal is to increase awareness of how movement works, allowing the brain to re-pattern movement for greater efficiency. Suitable for everyone, from athletes to desk workers to older adults.
Get in Touch
The Feldenkrais Method® promotes moving smarter, not harder. Through guided Awareness through Movement classes, you can improve balance, reduce pain, and gain tools for lasting self-care.
There is nothing like the effective, educative and soothing touch used in the Feldenkrais Method to help unlock and repattern movements, the manual therapy component of this Method (Functional Integration) can literally work wonders. There is no limit to improvement, change is always an option. The practise of Feldenkrais can be an indispensable tool for physical and mental well-being.
This Method (Fel-den-krais, which rhymes with rice), can be taken in weekly group classes, or you can have one-on-one treatments. Day-long workshops allow you to go deeper. Self improvement and body awareness is at the heart of the Method. Feldenkrais is a rare and sought after commodity in South Africa, with professional training only available overseas.
