What is Feldenkrais? - ChatGPT answer:

Feldenkrais refers to a somatic educational method developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, a physicist and engineer turned judo master and movement teacher. The Feldenkrais Method aims to improve movement and body awareness through gentle and mindful exploration.

The method is based on the principles of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life. It utilizes movement and awareness to enhance the brain's ability to learn and adapt.

There are two primary forms of the Feldenkrais Method: Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI).

Awareness Through Movement (ATM): In ATM lessons, individuals participate in guided movement sequences verbally instructed by a Feldenkrais practitioner. These movements involve a range of gentle, slow, and repetitive actions, designed to increase self-awareness and improve coordination, flexibility, and overall movement efficiency.
Functional Integration (FI): FI involves one-on-one sessions with a Feldenkrais practitioner. During an FI session, the practitioner uses gentle touch and movement to guide and educate the individual. The practitioner's touch and movement cues help the person develop new movement patterns and release habitual tensions, facilitating improved movement and well-being.
The Feldenkrais Method is utilized by people of various backgrounds, including athletes, dancers, musicians, individuals seeking pain relief, those recovering from injuries, and individuals interested in personal development. By exploring different movement patterns and expanding awareness, the Feldenkrais Method aims to enhance physical function, alleviate pain, promote relaxation, and foster overall well-being.
