Feldenkrais® course for seniors

‘Improve your flexibility and balance’ starts in January 2025

The Feldenkrais® Method is a body-orientated therapy or somatic therapy that can be used to fundamentally improve the quality of movements and postures. It was named after its founder, the scientist Dr Moshé Feldenkrais (1904-1984).

‚Awareness through movement’. It is not an exercise. In these courses I will guide you by inviting you to make small movements and at the same time to become aware of the movement, of the process of integrating the whole body into it. Use your skeleton correctly to avoid unnecessary strain or change bad postural habits. Move better, feel better.

The Feldenkrais® Method is an approach that aims to bring about change by working with your nervous system. Your brain controls the nervous system and is responsible for your movement patterns. So if you want to change your movements, you literally have to change your ‘MIND’.

Feldenkrais® and Tai Chi basics

Workshop in three parts

In this workshop we combine the Feldenkrais® method with the basics of Tai Chi to improve body awareness, posture and flexibility. The exercises aim to promote balance and inner stability and to deepen the interplay between breathing and movement.

 

Workshop content

Part 1 – Feldenkrais®: Awareness through movement
We start on the floor with awareness through movement exercises using the Feldenkrais® method. This first lesson helps to release tension and strengthen body awareness in order to optimise posture and mobility.

Part 2 – Tai Chi basics
We then apply the body awareness we have gained to the Tai Chi basics. We will focus intensively on the principles of balance, weight transfer and the correct execution of steps. The focus is on understanding yin and yang as well as the silk thread exercises, which specifically activate and strengthen the legs, arms and the dantian (body centre).

Break
In between, there is a short break to relax.

Part 3 – Integration: from floor work to verticality
After the break, we return to the floor for another short Feldenkrais® unit to deepen what we have learnt. Finally, we will work in an upright position to build a stable and upright ‘inner column’ and consolidate the various movement sequences of Tai Chi.

 

Aims of the workshop
Our aim is to specifically improve coordination between the hip, knee and ankle joints so that dynamic postural control and flow of movement are noticeably increased. This workshop is aimed at both beginners and advanced students who want to deepen their body awareness and inner balance.

Briefly about me:
In 1992 I started Tai Chi in the Yang style, in 2006 I added the Chen style as well as weapons and Wushu. I studied dance and taught African dance in Spain. Through contemporary dance I discovered Feldenkrais® and am now a Feldenkrais® practitioner. I practise yoga regularly and love hiking.

Feldenkrais® individual lessons

Functional Integration (FI) Lessons in the Feldenkrais® Method

Functional Integration (FI) lessons are one-on-one, 60-minute sessions designed to help individuals improve movement or address specific challenges, such as pain, discomfort, or performance in a particular activity.

These lessons, part of the Feldenkrais® Method, are rooted in learning and self-improvement, making them applicable to anyone, regardless of their starting point. The method’s goal is encapsulated in Moshe Feldenkrais’s philosophy: “to make the impossible possible, the difficult easy, and the easy graceful.”
