🧠 How does the Feldenkrais Method® work?

By paying close attention to your movements, you activate the brain’s ability to learn and adapt—also known as neuroplasticity. This opens the door to better coordination, balance, flexibility, and even mood.

✨ Small shifts in awareness → lasting change in how you move and feel.

🌀 The Vagus Nerve & the Feldenkrais Method
Did you know that how you move can influence how you feel—deep in your nervous system?

The vagus nerve helps to regulate your heart, breath, digestion, and emotional state. It’s key to the “rest and digest” mode of your nervous system—and it’s deeply responsive to how we move, breathe, and feel.

Through gentle, mindful movement, the Feldenkrais lessons can:
✨ Calm the nervous system
✨ Encourage diaphragmatic breathing
✨ Promote self-awareness and interoception
✨ Create a sense of safety—where true learning can happen

These all help tone and support the vagus nerve, guiding us toward balance, resilience, and connection.

💡 You don’t need to push harder to feel better. Sometimes, it’s about listening more deeply.

"The Feldenkrais Method is a way of restoring unity, even during pain or challenges.

The movement lessons invite playful exploration, yielding quality information about safety and function. This makes the method particularly valuable in harnessing the power of neuroplasticity and bio-plasticity—releasing old limitations and uncovering new possibilities.

We learn to listen to our bodies, honor our experiences, and choose ease over effort.

Because effortless movement is a high priority for the nervous system, new possibilities often become available without conscious thought. It is a transformative practice for reducing pain, relieving tension, and opening pathways to healing and untapped potential."

✨ Touching a Person’s Life ✨

Touch is at the heart of the Feldenkrais Method—whether through words or hands, we aim to reach the whole person, not just a body part.

Sabina Graf-Pointner beautifully explores this profound difference in her latest article. How does a shift in awareness and intention transform the experience of touch?

Two main ways in which you can work with the Feldenkrais Method:

🌿 AWARENESS THROUGH MOVEMENT LESSONS (ATM)
These are usually group lessons that are based on simple movement sequences using the floor as the main source of feedback. These Lessons typically involve gentle, exploratory, self-paced movements that encourage participants to notice their movement patterns through somatic awareness. This work focuses on improving body awareness, movement efficiency, and overall well-being

🌱 FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION SESSIONS (FI) This practice ocuses on personalized, one-on-one sessions designed to improve movement and body awareness through gentle touch and movement guidance. Is a hands-on approach, complementing the Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons.
