Each faculty member offers private lessons called Functional Integration. These one-on-one sessions provide an opportunity for the student to accelerate the learning of alternatives to habitual patterns of organization. Those with chronic pain or movement limitations, or those who would like the benefit of individual help, will find that these lessons are a potent means of improving daily function, as well as an excellent preparation for Awareness Through Movement classes.

The cost of the lesson varies with the individual teacher. In some instances, medical insurance may cover the practitioner's lesson fee.

All Feldenkrais Learning Center faculty members are certified by the Feldenkrais Guild of North America® to teach both Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®.


Faculty Sightings

Here's what some of our faculty have been up to in addition to the classes and workshops they are offering at the Center.

Marcy Lindheimer
In early September in Chicago, Marcy will be working with children with special needs from all over the Midwest. At the end of September, she'll travel to California to join Anat Baniel in teaching a 9-day mastery course on vitality and anti-aging. At the end of October, Marcy will return to California to co-teach the 8th segment of the ABM Basic Training in San Rafael.

Marilyn Bakun
Marilyn can be seen most Tuesday mornings this summer at the Feldenkrais Class on the High Line Park, part of the Shape-Up NYC program. www.thehighline.org/events/all/2010/8

Rebecca Davis
Rebecca was recently selected as a 2010 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence. She will premiere her evening-length choreography, what I'm saying is born from the weather, November 11-13, 2010 at Judson Memorial Church. For more information, please visit: www.rdavisprojects.com

Barbara Forbes

Dan Rindler
Dan will teach ongoing workshops in Child'Space Method® for new parents and infants this September at the Prenatal Yoga Center, Symphony Space and Shambala Yoga in Brooklyn. He will also begin teaching a very playful Feldenkrais ATM class for grade school children at the Spence School.

Kathy Yates
Kathy will be continuing the Tellington Touch training for Companion Animals. Kathy has also been working with children at The Field Center for children with special needs.

"It is a pleasure to testify to the effectiveness of the Feldenkrais Method which has helped me through the 20 years since my diagnosis of Parkinson ’s disease. I feel less tense after a lesson, more balanced and I have more energy. It helps more than anything else has--to the point that my neurologist guessed when my Feldenkrais practitioner was out of town because my symptoms increased temporarily. I am so grateful, I tell everyone about Feldenkrais."
Dinah Flusser, Diplomat

"In exposing me to new options for movement, the skilled and compassionate teachers at the Feldenkrais Learning Center have taught me an even more important lesson: that it is possible to overcome seemingly insurmountable limitations - not just in movement, but in every aspect of life."
