FELDENKRAIS METHOD®

The Feldenkrais Method® is a remarkable approach to human movement, learning and change developed by Moshe Feldenkrais. The method is based on sound principles of physics, neurology and physiology, and the conditions under which the nervous system learns best.

FM is recognized for the strategies it employs to improve posture, flexibility, coordination, athletic and artistic ability and to help those with restricted movement, chronic pain and tension (including back pain and other common ailments), as well as neurological, developmental and psychological problems.

FM explores the biological and cultural aspects of movement, posture and learning, and how our habits can constrain us to a small portion of our potential. Through our personal history, upbringing, culture, injuries, illness, etc., we each adopt patterns of physical and psychological behavior. These patterns are deeply embedded in our nervous system, and can create

unnecessary physical, and psychological limitations.

The Feldenkrais Method uses a process of organic learning, movement, and sensing to free you from habitual patterns and allow for new patterns of thinking, moving and feeling to emerge.

Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984) synthesized insights from physics, motor development, bio-mechanics, psychology, and martial arts to develop a powerful, effective, and practical application, that reconnects learning with human health and function.

Dr. Feldenkrais was a distinguished scientist, physicist and engineer with Doctorate of Science in physics and a Judo master. His insights contributed to the development of the new field of somatic education and continue to influence disciplines such as the arts, education, psychology, child development, physical and occupational therapy and sports enhancement.

What to do

ASHA LEITNER

I am a Guild Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner and an Assistant Trainer, a graduate of Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement® for children and the Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) Practitioner and Therapist for children.

I have been working with adults and children since 2008, first in Brooklyn, NY, and currently in Berlin, Germany. I specialize in working with children with a wide range of developmental difficulties, as well as adults with neurological problems and chronic pain. In NY I have studied and worked with remarkable Sheryl Field at The Field Center for Children's Integrated Development.

Currently I travel to Romania, Austria, Poland and Ukraine to work intensely with children and adults, and I maintain a busy practice in Berlin, at Feldenkrais Zentrum Schoeneberg.

Movement has always been part of my life. I have trained and performed as a mime, Butoh and art performer, I graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in physical theater, and have worked as a dancer and choreographer in US and abroad.

I am a black belt in Aikido, which practice provides a rich ground for understanding the principles of human movement and action.
