What is Functional Integration®? Gentle skeletally-oriented, individual lessons, that create lasting change through the nervous system.

This charming short youtube film created by my equally charming and erudite French colleague, Stephanie Menase',  is completely unlike any other film about Feldenkrais Functional Integration (known also as FI). It is brilliant, educational and absorbing. 

 


And inspiring! During the very unusual and effective one-to-one process of Functional Integration, you get a clear taste of what the work is like, how it proceeds, relieves pain, organizes the body for effective movement and gives you an example of what your own experience in an individual Feldenkrais session might be like. 


The remarkable thing is that Stephanie is able to convey all of these subtleties with just her fingers and hands, using a tiny little stuffed Frenchman doll to represent her client. You will be amazed!


The gentleness of her movements and the refinement of her words perfectly conveys the sometimes magical possibilities that one encounters with the Feldenkrais Method. 


I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did! 

With best wishes for a happy, movement filled 2019!
