Discover the Transformative Insights of Movement Pioneer Moshe Feldenkrais

Essential Reading for Somatic Practitioners, Movement Teachers, Performing Artists, and Anyone Interested in Self-Improvement and Healing

As a scientist, martial artist, and founder of the Feldenkrais Method, Moshe Feldenkrais wrote several influential books on the relationship between movement, learning, and health. The Elusive Obvious is a thorough and accessible explanation of the method that is more relevant today than when it was first published, as current research strongly supports many of its insights.

The Feldenkrais Method: Two Main Strands

The Feldenkrais Method has two main strands: Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration. Both are renowned worldwide for their ability to reduce pain and anxiety, cultivate vitality, and improve performance.

Awareness Through Movement

Awareness Through Movement (ATM) classes offer a unique approach to improve your overall well-being by increasing your awareness of your movements and patterns. Through gentle, flowing movements, you will learn to become more aware of your body and its capabilities, leading to improved flexibility, balance, and coordination.

Functional Integration

Functional Integration (FI) is a one-on-one session tailored to address specific needs and goals. It involves gentle manipulations that help your nervous system to reorganize and improve your movement patterns, reducing pain and improving your overall function and efficiency.

Why The Elusive Obvious Matters

The Elusive Obvious uncovers solutions that are often hidden in plain sight, helping you learn to move with greater ease, grace, and efficiency through the Feldenkrais Method. This book is essential reading for somatic practitioners, movement teachers, performing artists, and anyone interested in self-improvement and healing.
