Awareness Through Movement®


Feldenkrais Resources Training Institute is pleased to offer Awareness Through Movement (ATM) workshops, open to both health professionals and the general public. These seminars are appropriate for beginning and ongoing students. Each workshop will focus on a different application of The Feldenkrais Method® and can be taken as a series or individually. These workshops also serve as an excellent prelude to our Professional Training Program.

Awareness Through Movement classes consist of gentle, verbally guided movement sequences, each organized around the improvement of a different aspect of human movement and functioning. Unlike many movement practices where the same sequences are repeated, ATM offers an impressive variety of movement situations addressing every human function and area of the body. Thus the learning process in ATM is full of surprises, challenges and the pleasure of learning in new and unexpected ways. The movement lessons give structure to the investigation of diverse themes such as attention, self-image, intention and self-responsibility resulting in a multifaceted and multi-dimensional learning experience.
