FELDENKRAIS

“We Act According to our Self Image”

—Dr. M. Feldenkrais

Improve your coordination, learn to move easier
and efficiently in your daily life

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic  (body and mind) education uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve movement and enhance human functioning. Through this Method, you can increase your ease and efficiency, and improve your coordination.

The  Feldenkrais Method® is based on principles of physics, biomechanics and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. You will learn to expand the self-image through movement, become more aware of your habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and expand options for new ways of moving, thinking, sensing and feeling. Read more about the theories behind the work HERE. Feldenkrais lessons are available as hands on individual lessons (Functional Integration®) and verbally guided group lessons (Awareness through Movement®).

Group lessons are offered Tuesdays at 6pm in the hybrid format Zoom/Yoga Space in Hyattsville.

The drop-in fee for the lesson is $ 15; the class pass for 10 lessons is $ 100.

My name is Bob. I'm a retired linguist who needed some plan to put life in my aging muscles. I saw an e-mail on our local listserve about an upcoming Feldenkrais class and decided to give it a try. I talked my wife into attending the first class, and we were hooked. Jutta is a wonderful teacher. She takes us through various gentle motions designed to unlock muscles that have been long neglected and give us a wider range of motion. I have learned many movements that help me in my everyday activities including walking, gardening, and even turning my head to look for nearby vehicles while I'm driving. I highly recommend these classes; I'm signing up for another class this week.
