What is Feldenkrais
The Feldenkrais Method® takes its name from Moshé Feldenkrais. An expert in Judo, he developed the method after he seriously aggravated an old knee injury. He decided not to have an operation on his knee but instead to focus on self-rehabilitation.
Moshé Feldenkrais published the first book on the the subject in 1949. Today there are thousands of teachers and practitioners of the Feldenkrais Method all around the world.
The first public Feldenkrais workshop I attended was in 1995, and it was run by Larry Goldfarb. Larry’s article Felden WHAT? is a great introduction to what Feldenkrais is about. Since that first workshop I’ve attended many workshops and advanced training sessions run by Larry.
