What is the goal?

There is no one right way to move. Moving the same way forever is like eating potatoes the rest of your life. It's not at all healthy, and it’s very limiting!

Therefore, the goal is not:

  • to perform perfectly

  • to discover right and wrong

  • to correct your movement

  • to find one right way to move and do that the rest of your life

The larger goal is becoming adaptable so you can meet any situation. 

Adaptability is the base from which we can grow in any direction, regardless of limitation, disease, injury, surgery, or pain. Any sense of perfect movement will be compromised as life inevitably happens, but adaptability will serve you forever!

The general goals of Feldenkrais are to: 

  1. Fill in the blind spots of your self image

  2. Create precise, efficient movement

  3. Reduce unnecessary effort

  4. Remove conflicting muscular patterns

  5. Distribute muscular work proportionally throughout your system

  6. Increase resilience

  7. Feel so liberated you can move in any direction without preparation
