A 12 minute presentation by Dr. Feldenkrais himself speaking during a Feldenkrais training (Amherst, NY) on freeing ourselves from mind-numbing, hard-wired brain/body repetitive responses and movement. And why we must care.
Repetition kills the life in us, physically, mentally and emotionally.
Dr. Feldenkrais developed and/or applied so many emerging neuroscience concepts without the technology to prove his theories other than what he observed and how these helped people to improve and change.
These short videos give you a taste of the genius of the man, who in effect, was the grandfather of neuroscience and neuroplasticity. He speaks clearly about how working with our movement habits activates and improves our brain function. It recreates the rich neural development that occurs in early childhood when we were learning continuously. He explains how learning in this way is the key to increasing brain function and maintaining an active mind.
The International Feldenkrais Federation kindly makes these wonderful short clips of Dr. Feldenkrais available to Feldenkrais teachers and practitioners to share with the public. I hope you enjoy it! If you live in the Reno-Tahoe-Sparks-Carson area and want information about attending weekly Awareness Through Movement classes or individual Functional Integration, or have general questions about the Feldenkrais Method, please contact me using the form at the top of this page.
Here is to clear thinking and mindful movement!
Best wishes,
