The Feldenkreis Method, developed by physicist and judo master Moshe Feldenkrais uses movement to learn how to observe the body as a whole ("Awareness through movement").

Through simple exercises, where time and attention play a crucial role, one will discover new ways to reduce stress.

These exercises, which eliminate redundant efforts, can also be used while playing a musical instrument having a very beneficial effect on pain or discomfort, The Feldenkrais method creates a better balance, conscious coordination, sharper concentration and better breathing, energy distribution. So study, rehearsals and performances become less tiring and playing becomes more free and enjoyable.
