How is Feldenkrais connected to landscape architecture?
Your brain is constantly changing in response to your environment.
Your brain consists of billions of neurons, each with thousands of connections to other neurons, which are constantly reorganizing themselves moment to moment in response to your environment. This process is called neuroplasticity.
Feldenkrais lessons use movement to activate this neuroplasticity so that your nervous system improves itself as it connects your inner landscape with your environment. This reorganization is your brain learning.
Recent neuroscience has shown that both learning and creative flow work similarly in our brains.
The optimal conditions for learning are also the strategies for finding creative flow. They both happen by literally making new connections between things (ideas, neurons, brain regions) that were previously unconnected.
Although commonly used for physical improvements, Feldenkrais-based movements enhance the creative process, so we can design to our highest potential. This is particularly useful when you feel stuck, have creative blocks, or when working under stress.
What is the Feldenkrais Method®?
This is a system of mindful movement designed to activate the brain's neuroplasticity so that you can move better, think clearer and feel surprisingly good with very little effort.
Who is the Feldenkrais Method® for?
Pretty much anyone who wants to improve something in their lives. The lessons help enhance physical and mental focus, coordination and flexibility, and also eases stress or anxiety.
Musicians, dancers, actors, designers and other creatives use this method to enhance their skills through heightened learning and creativity.
How are Feldenkrais Practitioners trained?
All Feldenkrais practitioners must complete 800 hours of training over 4 years which includes Newtonian mechanics, kinesthesiology, physics, neurophysiology, developmental movement, biology, non-violent communication, voice regulation and learning theories.
