The Feldenkrais method belongs to the field of somatic education. It was invented and developed over 70 years ago by Moshe Feldenkrais and is known and practiced all over the world.

This method allows the person who receives it to feel and to move better, by finding or rediscovering simple and effective ways of moving, by gently setting the body in motion.

​

Inspired by the principles of children's sensorimotor development and relying on brain plasticity (neuroplasticity), it aims to teach us to move and act differently, through a playful exploration of gentle movements and associated sensations. To move in this way helps to improve one's daily life in the long term.

​

Through the conscious exploration of movement, it brings many benefits in different areas or activities of our daily life: sports and artistic practices, the challenges of aging, health prevention at work, support for people with special needs or rehabilitation, wellbeing for all.

​

What are the benefits?

​

The practice of this method actively participates in:

​

• learning to move and breathe differently;

• gaining flexibility and mobility throughout the body;

• in better coordinating one's movements and in reducing unnecessary physical tensions resulting from an "internal conflict of functioning" at the muscular, tendon and articular level;

• improving one's postures and one's ways of moving (walking, running, dancing, playing a musical instrument, etc.);

• be more present to yourself.

​​

More globally,​ it allows each of us to go beyond his limiting habits without going beyond his comfort zone.  It is not a question of doing "more" going on's beyond the limits, but doing "better" in what is accessible and possible for each of us, according to our morphology, history and physical capacity in the moment.
