You are born with the potential to consciously direct yourself, and your behaviour, in a manner that enhances quality of life - both yours and others.  

The Feldenkrais Method uses movement to actively promote the maturation of awareness in action.

Feldenkrais lessons encourage contemplative curiosity, personal resourcefulness, and an attitude of profound respect for self and the intelligence within the living body.  You become skilled in using your attention to be aware of yourself in situ and while acting - a practical ability you can use to improve health, learning, performance, relationships; indeed all vital aspects of human life.
