Our Story

The Feldenkrais Institute of NY was founded in 2005. The partners of the Institute — Sheryl Field, Maria Lanaras, Marek Wyszynski and David Zemach-Bersin — pooled their experience, resources and a shared vision to open the nation’s largest Feldenkrais center devoted to the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. The Institute offers the following programs and services for the public.

Weekly public classes using Awareness Through Movement
Evening and weekend workshops for the public
Individual sessions using Functional Integration for adults and children
Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs
Graduate programs for Feldenkrais Practitioners
Audio, video and print resources on The Feldenkrais Method
In addition, the Institute’s Feldenkrais center shares space with The Feldenkrais Research Foundation, a 501(c)3 Charitable organization that funds research using The Feldenkrais Method

I believe Marek Wyszynski's extraordinary (and usually unspoken) fluency in anatomy and physiology facilitate his lucid teaching of self awareness, self-correction and efficiency of movement — the Feldenkrais technique.

Individual Sessions

The most direct way to benefit from Feldenkrais is to work privately with one of our highly skilled practitioners. In Functional Integration lessons, the work is tailored specifically to your needs, the touch is gentle and communicative, and your comfort is respected. Call 212-727-1014 for an appointment.
