Awareness Through Movement (ATM)® lessons are usually taught with participants lying or rolling on the floor, following verbal instructions and experiencing a rich sensory exploration full of interesting details. It is a system of movement re-education, designed to stimulate your brain to open new pathways to improve movement. Slowing down allows us to expand our attention and helps us to uncover those blind spots that interfere with our movement.

Question 5

What is the Feldenkrais Method?

Accepted Answer

The Feldenkrais method is founded on the development of awareness through movement. In every action there are four elements: thought, perception, sensation and movement. Movement is the most accessible portal for change, through which the other components of action can also be changed through increased self-awareness.

It consists of two main components:
Awareness Through Movement (ATM) which involves verbally guided group lessons and 
Functional Integration (FI) 1-2-1 personalised, hands-on guidance.
