FELDENKRAIS LOS ANGELES
Who Feldenkrais is For
If you've got a body and/or a brain, congratulations! You're qualified for Feldenkrais. Whether you're a prima ballerina or someone who just wants to get out of a chair without sound effects, Feldenkrais has something profound to offer.
While we're not exclusionary, some people are absolutely DESPERATE for this method and don't even know it:
The Chronic Pain Warriors
Living with chronic pain is like having an uninvited houseguest who keeps rearranging your furniture and eating all your snacks. Feldenkrais doesn't evict this guest directly – it teaches your nervous system to stop accommodating their bad behavior. Suddenly they're packing their bags and you're wondering where they went.
The Movement Professionals and Enthusiasts
Dancers, athletes, musicians, yoga instructors – basically anyone whose body is their business card. Feldenkrais is the secret weapon that separates the good from the great, the flexible from the functionally integrated. It's like getting the cheat codes to your own movement patterns.
The Stress Collectors
If your shoulders are permanently residing somewhere near your earlobes and your jaw could crack walnuts, Feldenkrais might just be your nervous system's spa day. We're talking deep relaxation that makes meditation look like an energy drink.
The Neurologically Diverse
Whether it's CP, MS, stroke recovery, or any other neurological situation, Feldenkrais offers pathways around the roadblocks. Your brain is plastic (not in a Barbie way), and this method knows how to mold it.
The Posturally Challenged
If your desk posture resembles a question mark and your phone-scrolling stance would make an orthopedist weep, Feldenkrais can help you find organizational brilliance without the "shoulders back, chin up" militant approach that never actually works.
The Longevity Obsessees
For those who refuse to accept that deterioration is inevitable. Feldenkrais practitioners in their 70s and 80s often move with more grace and ease than most 30-year-olds. It's giving Benjamin Button but make it movement.
The Curious Minded
If you're fascinated by the connection between brain and body, how movement shapes thought, and vice versa, Feldenkrais is like the best documentary series you've never seen — except you're in it.
The Efficiency Seekers
For those who understand that true efficiency isn't about pushing harder but about eliminating unnecessary effort. This isn't about doing more with less; it's about doing better with exactly what's needed.Sound like you? Welcome to Feldenkrais — it's the most inclusive exclusive club you'll ever join.
