Movement is most often habitual. Usually we are not aware of the impulse instigating the initiation of movement. Is movement driven by our physical needs or our thoughts or our emotions? What is the intention behind our posture? When we become aware of where our movement is initiated, then we have choice and can move in freedom.
Feldenkrais takes place with a therapist either one on one, or in a group setting. The work inspires the discovery of movement patterns through exploration in a variety of positions appropriate to a particular movement pattern. Through rhythmical repetitive movement we become aware of the ease or tension revealed within our movement and of the opportunity to question that which lies behind it.
