The past few years have been exciting for the Feldenkrais Method. A number of new studies have proven it’s effectiveness, the Feldenkrais Method has been featured in several new popular and academic books, and there is a growing need for graduates to bring the Feldenkrais Method into fields as diverse as health care, the performing arts, physical therapy, gerontology, massage therapy, sports training, etc.
If you are interested in the Feldenkrais Method, or would like to see what the training program process is like, we invite you to attend our August 25-31 meeting – or part of it – as an in-depth Feldenkrais workshop. The four-day segments in the Fall may also be open on this basis. If you would like to speak with graduates working in particular fields, or students in our current program, we are happy to give you references. Our programs are weekend-based and meet 40 days per year over a period of 3 1/2 years, for a total of 160 days. In addition to the weekend segments, there are usually two longer segments: a 7-8 day segment in the spring, and a 12-day segment in August.

About our Students
Feldenkrais Method Training Programs are traditionally made up of an extremely varied student population, which enriches the training environment. We are seeking a well-balanced student body, people from all walks of life, representing a diversity of human experience, interests, backgrounds and professions. Participants are attracted to the training program for a variety of reasons. Some join for professional development, to bring new perspectives to their work, to enhance skills they already possess, or to develop a new occupation and join a rewarding profession. For some, the option of being self-employed is particularly attractive. Other students join the program as a means for self-growth or healing, to improve their personal comfort and health, and deepen their understanding of the Feldenkrais Method.
Whatever their reason for beginning, everyone progresses together, while learning at their own pace. There are no specific pre-requisites for admission. Participants in previous programs have ranged from 18-80 years of age. We accept students regardless of profession, age, gender, race, or physical ability.
