ABOUT THE FELDENKRAIS METHOD®
Developing Body Awareness and Exploring Potential
Feldenkrais Method® can be defined as a learning system that aims to develop body awareness and reach full potential by using natural learning abilities.
This method is based on the principles of neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to be open to change), body mechanics, physics and martial arts. Scientist Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais discovered that through play and mindfulness we can achieve dramatic improvements in our movement patterns and change our brains.
“The mind and body are not just parts that are somehow related, but are inseparable as they function.”
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais
BRAIN BODY RELATIONSHIP
Feldenkrais lessons strengthen the communication between our brain and body and create new neural connections thanks to brain plasticity. With the application of this method, we learn to recognize and change the effects of our habits. Thus, we can explore more flexible and varied movement options.
During classes, new information is presented to the brain through various movements and positions, using our body's natural learning capacity. The brain processes this information, our body awareness increases and our ability to make better choices improves. As a result, we can perform our movements more effectively and efficiently.
One of the fundamental principles of the Feldenkrais Method is to recognize the limitations of our habits and to diversify them to discover our body's potential. With the application of this method, we learn to make the choices that best support our intention at every moment. Thus, we can move forward in our movements more accurately, harmoniously and effectively.
With the application of the Feldenkrais Method, awareness of our body increases, we learn to act with an astonishing sense of lightness and freedom at any age. In this way, we can improve our living conditions not only physically, but also emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.
“Through mindfulness, we can learn to act with astonishing lightness and freedom at any age, thereby improving our living conditions not only physically but also emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.”

NATURAL LEARNING
The application of this method of developing body awareness and using natural learning abilities can also be effective in the management of chronic pain and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. It provides deep relaxation in our nervous system, helping to reduce the tension and pressure caused by our modern stressful lifestyles.
The Feldenkrais Method® aims to move and live more freely by making our movements easier, more flexible and graceful. With the application of this method, we can better understand how our body works and we can change our own movement habits in a healthier and more efficient way. This provides more comfort and convenience in our daily life.
The Feldenkrais Method® is based on our ability to create new neural connections using the plasticity of the brain. By combining our thoughts with our body, it increases our body awareness and enables us to act more consciously. It offers students the opportunity to discover themselves and realize their potential.
In conclusion, the Feldenkrais Method® is a method that uses the effect of movement on body awareness to encourage people to have better mobility, bodily harmony and increase in quality of life. By better understanding your body, you learn to act with awareness and you can live your life more fully.
