    The Method

  • We teach a highly-effective method to improve physical, mental and emotional wellness through movement. 

    The method is centered around simple movement-thought exercises designed to help people create new mind-body connections and patterns that improve physical, cognitive and emotional wellness.

     

    In addition to the physical benefits, the approach often enhances your thinking, emotional regulation and level of resilience.

     

    By expanding your self-awareness and perception, you will become more aware of your behavioural habits and develop more refined ways of moving and being.

    Based on neuroscience and physiological research, this work is based on the teachings of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and further refined and developed by Mia Segal and Leora Gaster of Mind Body Studies MBS Academy.

     

    The method is designed to affect eight key behavioral components:

     

    1. Movement

    Experiential learning of our bodies' abilities and connections.

     

    2. Technique

    Enhancing and improving the movement of self and others.

     

    3. Sensing

    Developing simultaneous attention on multiple sensory levels.

     

    4. Cognitive

    Understanding principles and patterns of thought and movement.

     

    5. Beliefs

    Experientially re-examining existing beliefs about self and motivation.

     

    6. Values

    Revisiting culturally instilled goals and achievements.

     

    7. Self-Image

    Checking subjective experiences in our environment.

     

    8. Identity

    Connecting with innermost identity and center of self.

  • Finding Freedom Through Movement

     

    Today, our society is a place where most people live in their minds and are disconnected from their bodies, where taking our time is perceived to be less efficient than going fast, where we are often told what to do and that answers come from the external.

     

    While being able to move with freedom is wonderful, this work goes further than physical movement. One is able to apply the principles of this work in life. It is an ever-giving, ever-teaching fountain.

     

    Dr. Feldenkrais said “When you know what you are doing, then you can do what you want.”

    How well do you know yourself?

    Neuroplasticity The Brain's Way of Healing

     

    Every experience we have, changes our brain.

     

    This is called Neuroplasticity. It is one of the life-changing breakthroughs in modern science.

     

    In 1949, well ahead of the recent breakthroughs in modern science on neural plasticity, Dr. Feldenkrais had already presented the idea that:

     

    "My way of looking at the mind and body involves a subtle method of 'rewiring' the structure of the whole human being to be functionally well integrated, which means being able to do what the individual wants.

     

    Each individual has the choice to wire himself in a special way."

     

    In the best-selling book "The Brain's Way of Healing" (2015) by Dr Norman Doidge, where he shares how brains damaged from birth, or by illness or injury can gain or regain some or all cognitive and motor functionality through neuroplasticity.

     

    Dr. Norman Doidge documents numerous neuroplastic treatments for stroke, cerebral palsy, children born with brain damage or missing part of the brain, Parkinson's disorder and other conditions with movement difficulties.

     

    Dedicating two chapters to the Feldenkrais Method, Doidge highlights the effectiveness of Dr Feldenkrais' approach.
