What happens:
In a Functional Integration lesson the student lies on a table wearing comfortable clothing, and the practitioner gently maneuvers the student’s body through a series of movement patterns.  The touch used in Feldenkrais® is gentle and designed to find and explore movement patterns that engage one's entire nervous system.  Feldenkrais does not involve deep tissue work or joint manipulation as in massage and Chiropractic.

Awareness Through Movement® (ATM)

Rates:
Vary depending on the location and the number of students involved. I am available for private ATM sessions as well as group classes.
Time:
Usually an ATM class/session is about an hour in length, but it can also be used in combination with other modalities to create a 2 hour class. For instance ATM and movement for actors, or ATM for dancers, etc...
What to wear: Loose comfortable clothing.
What happens:
One of the central tenets of the Feldenkrais Method is that more effort and brute strength do not necessarily equal more efficiency. In fact, more muscular effort often leads to increased strain on our bodies. The problem is that we are not always aware of the unnecessary tension we carry. We just become aware of the resultant aches and pains. In an ATM lesson the movements are done on a very small scale and the objective is for students to pay attention to how much effort they use. Students generally lie on the floor or sit in a chair and the teacher provides verbal cues that not only guide students’ movements, but that also direct their awareness and help them learn how to decrease their effort and tension. This, in turn, will cause their movement to become smoother, easier, and more efficient. ATM usually occurs in a group setting, but can also be done privately.
