"The aim is a person who is organized to move with minimum effort and maximum efficiency, not through muscular strength, but through increased consciousness of how movement works."
~ Moshe Feldenkrais Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) is world renowned for the system of body-awareness and exercises he developed during his lifetime. Moshe Feldenkrais studied engineering and went on to receive his doctorate in physics from the Sorbonne. While in Paris, he was attached to the lab of Joliot-Curie (Nobel Prize winner) and gained his Judo black belt with help from Professor Kano (creator of Judo). Over a period of 40 years, he synthesized his learning into a method of somatic education which facilitates each student’s ability to act efficiently and effectively. |
