Hello !!

Last year "Feldenkrais" made it into the National Spelling Bee. Recently it was featured in a New York Times article by Jane Brody, well known for her science and health-related reporting. The article has been picked up by other papers and the Method is experiencing a surge in interest. See more information below, including a link to the article.
And, if you'd like to experience it yourself, January is a great time to try a class. See details below.

Best wishes for your holiday season,

As Jane Brody writes: "I had long refrained from writing about this method of countering pain because I thought it was some sort of New Age gobbledygook with no scientific basis. Boy, was I wrong!"

Regular students will identify with her comment that she felt she was "walking on air" as she experienced at least temporary relief in the tight muscles contributing to her back and hip pain. Read the entire article here.
