Description

In this workshop we will look at Moshe Feldenkrais’s ideas that are linked with his practical martial-arts work in Judo and self-defense, and discuss the basic influences that the martial arts had on the development of the Feldenkrais Method.  From there, we will experience and analyze self-defense techniques as they arise from Awareness Through Movement lessons, helping us to understand the effectiveness of the Feldenkrais Method from the point of view of survival.

This workshop is also open to the Public.
