Feldenkrais Training  program

  

The Feldenkrais Training program is geared to those who work in one of the paramedical fields, such as nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and complementary medicine therapists. The course is also beneficial for people who work in the field of education: preschool teachers and educators of children with special needs. The training course is designed for those who are interested in acquiring an additional profession, as well.

 

 

 

During the Feldenkrais Training  program, you will:

  • Develop observation skills

  • Acquire a deep understanding of human movement

  • Learn to move and act in a more coordinated, efficient, and comfortable manner

  • Learn to identify habitual movements that interfere with daily functioning

  • Learn to bring about and welcome change

  • Develop new learning skills

  • Improve your physical capabilities

  • Reduce stress

  • Develop sensitivity and flexibility

  • Improve your capacity for enjoying life

  • Learn to cope with stress and anxiety

Through the Feldenkrais Method, you will enrich your life and unleash your creativity.

 

The course trains you to teach the Feldenkrais Method to adults and children in groups and one-on-one lessons.

 

Group lessons

Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons are usually done in a prone position and involve slow and effortless movements. Prone positions free the nervous system from having to cope with the effects of gravity, free us from our habitual movements, and heighten our sensitivity to subtle changes.

Individual lessons

A Functional Integration (FI) is a hands-on lesson suitable for people who require more individual attention. It is learning-based and depends on a nonverbal, sensory dialogue that develops between the teacher and the student.

 

Endless possibilities are open to course graduates. Some graduates choose to teach the method in private practice or institutions. Others choose to use the method in working with dancers, singers, actors, and athletes.

 

The Feldenkrais Method trains you to work with people who are:

  • Suffering from back pain

  • Experiencing difficulty in their joints

  • Undergoing rehabilitation after an accident or stroke

  • Having difficulties in daily functioning

  • Suffering from anxiety

 

All these problems and limitations have one thing in common: THE WAY PEOPLE MOVE.

The training program consists of 160 days (950 academic hours).

Certificates are awarded by the International Feldenkrais Federation.
