"...I really appreciate that Lucien allowed each of us to find our very own movements that specifically cater to our bodies and to observe ourselves in a unique and gentle way... The workshop taught me to slow down and seek a simpler and more pleasurable way of doing everything."
—Apinya Pokachaiyapat
"...In the study of instrumental music it is said that if one wants to play fast, play slow. I think this slow practice in music is comparable to the Feldenkrais concept of slow movements. It is the slow, methodical movements in both that are inextricably linked to the brain, cognitive processing and improved ability. This is fascinating to me. I am thankful for a great movement class."

The more you move, the better off you are. But there is a dilemma. What if you have been exercising but you are hurting or feel stiff and have to work the kinks everyday? What if the kind of movements you're doing will become more difficult as you age? Movements habits such as how we hold tension in our necks or lower back, how inefficiently we breathe, how we pick up a grocery bag, or even how we run or do yoga can contribute to the aging process dramatically. In this Feldenkrais® program, you will learn fun movement exercises that will teach you how to improve your body awareness and how to harness that awareness as a tool to transform your functional age by 10 or 15 years! You will feel younger, more graceful, more flexible, more coordinated, and more at ease.

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement® lessons are a sensory-motor approach to learning based on the premise that becoming more aware of one’s movements, exerting less effort, and moving in more organic ways, can relieve stress, reduce pain, enhance agility and make life more enjoyable. These lessons are helpful and interesting for people at all levels of ability including those who are extremely healthy and those with serious injuries.
Contrasting most movement systems that focus on teaching predefined and static forms, Feldenkrais® focuses on function rather than form and does not have a goal of attaining an ideal body type or physical construction, or achieving "correct" positions or postures. Feldenkrais® is intended to improve the sensibility, awareness and quality of movement through one's own body feedback through diverse, ingenious movement experiments.
It is based on cutting-edge scientific theory and on the understanding of how our brain and nervous system learns, organizes movement and transforms our body, mind and spirit. It is an alternative and complementary approach to physical therapy programs, personal improvement, and fitness training. It helps people of all ages overcome pain and limitation and achieve lifetime fitness and vitality. Feldenkrais® stands today as a new western discipline equal in scope to Yogic practices, martial arts traditions and other psycho-physical approaches to human development that have originated in the East. It bridges
science, arts and education as a true 21st century approach to optimal health, well being, and personal development.
