ABOUT FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION® Functional Integration® (FI) is the name Moshe Feldenkrais gave to his original form of working with people. These individual lessons use a hands on
approach and sometimes words to bring awareness to
what it is you actually do, and introduce new movement
possibilities. Because our movement habits define much
of ourselves, discovering new movement not only
expands our physical ability, it also expands our
ability to feel, sense, think, create and act. As our
self-image grows, self imposed limits drop away and we
are free to move toward our full potential. The lessons are often done lying down on a low
comfortably firm table so the person may rest the
usual work required to stand and move in gravity.
However, Functional Integration® can be done in many
different situations, such as sitting, kneeling,
standing, walking, balancing on rollers, etc. The
person is fully clothed so their learning may be
easily transferred to their daily life. Feldenkrais
Practitioners have studied a vast repertoire of
movements and have learned to be keen observers of
details in the whole of movements. Rather than a fixed
technique, this allows each lesson to be created
uniquely for an individual based upon their request.
The client or "student" experiences an overall sense
of well-being, improved breathing, flexibility, grace,
and balance. |

I learned about the importance of the chest and the ribcage for movements of pelvis and legs, which I consider very important for my form of dancing and my teaching. The whole experience was like and intense working body and mind on holiday." - Anne-Lore Zimmerman, Germany Click here for more testimonials...
