“When you stand up and have great posture,
you carry that into the world and it’s different
from the slumped over victim pose, the downtrodden human.”
—Nancy Haller, Feldenkrais practitioner and BFL
program graduate
Feldenkrais practice is about more than posture, unless
you take that as a metaphor for moving through life.
How to do what you want to do better is the issue. Moshe
Feldenkrais, applying his engineer’s training
to the biomechanics of change, understood that when
efficiency in motion increases, tension and pain decrease.
The more comfortable you are inside your body, the easier
you’ll be in approaching your world.
Feldenkrais is process- rather than product-oriented,
rooted in the trial-and-error sort of sensory learning
by which we all, as babies, originally started to move.
So the biggest successes are the everyday experiences
of feeling better when you finish a movement sequence
than when you started.
