How does The Feldenkrais Method and The Anat Baniel Methodsm work?
The Feldenkrais Method® and The Anat Baniel Methodsm are done in two forms: group lessons called Awareness Through Movement® and Transformational Movement Lessons and private Functional Synthesis and Functional Integration® lessons.
Awareness Through Movement® and Transformational Movement Lessons
Awareness Through Movement® and Transformational Movement Lessons consist of verbally directed, gentle, and pain free movement sequences presented in a fully clothed group format. A lesson generally lasts from thirty to sixty minutes. Each lesson is usually organized around a particular function. In Awareness Through Movement® and Transformational Movement Lessons, people engage in structured movement explorations that involve thinking, sensing, moving, and imagining. Many are based on developmental movements and ordinary day-to-day activities. Some are based on explorations of joints, muscles, and posture. The lessons consist of comfortable, easy movements that gradually evolve into greater ranges and complexity.

Functional Synthesis and Functional Integration® Lessons
Functional Synthesis and Functional Integration® lessons are hands-on form of touch and sensory communication. The practitioner communicates how you organize your body and hints, through gentle touch and movement, how to move with more ease and pain free ranges. All Functional Synthesis and Functional Integration® lessons are done fully clothed on a table, chair, or in standing. At times, various props (pillows, rollers, blankets, etc.) are used in an effort to support the person’s body or to facilitate certain movements. All Functional Synthesis and Functional Integration® are custom-tailored for you and your particular needs.
