Description:

Feldenkrais® Resources Training Institute is proud to present a rare Advanced Training for Feldenkrais Practitioners with Jerry Karzen. Jerry was one of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais’ original American students and studied with him from 1975 until Dr Feldenkrais’ death in 1984.

During the Amherst training program he organized and directed the filming of over 200 of Dr. Feldenkrais’ Functional Integration® lessons. Today these films constitute nearly the entire International Feldenkrais Federation archive of Dr. Feldenkrais’ filmed FI lessons. Jerry will present, analyze, and discuss a number of these FI videos with Feldenkrais working with both adults and children. He will highlight the functional perspective in the lessons and incorporate both Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration practice in the workshop to explicate the relationship between Feldenkrais’ observations, thinking, action and theory.
