- Feldenkrais
We improve our well being when we learn to fully use ourselves. Our intelligence depends upon the opportunity we take to experience and learn on our own. This self learning leads to full, dynamic living. Ordinarily, we learn just enough to function. For example, we learn to use our hands well enough to eat, our legs well enough to walk. Our abilities to function with a greater range of ease and skill, however, remain to be developed. The FELDENKRAIS METHOD teaches -- through movement -- how we can improve our capabilities to function in our daily lives. [From the Feldenkrais website of North America]
