Making Connections: Feldenkrais & Aikido November 13, 2010

Developed by physicist and martial artist Moshe Feldenkrais, 2nd Dan, Judo (1904-1984), the Feldenkrais Method® helps you learn to access your potential in movement and in life. Through slow, gentle movements and expanded awareness you will learn to improve the quality of your attention and your movement. In this workshop we will explore the mind/body connections between Felenkrais and Aikido:

• Clarify the transmission of force through the skeleton
• Deepen attention and imagination to refine complex movement patterns
• Free yourself from habitual efforts that interfere with fluid movement
• Experience movement organized for the greatest efficiency, power & ease

“After my first experience doing Feldenkrais with Tiffany, I noticed an immediate improvement in how I received and engaged with my partner in Aikido practice. The Feldenkrais Method releases unnecessary tension from the muscles and joints and optimizes anatomical alignment to use less effort in the execution of Aikido technique. It increases awareness and places intention deeply in the body's individual parts as well as in the body as a whole, which is a fundamentally essential aspect for Aikido advancement.” Brad Carriero, Shobu Aikido

"From my perspective, which is of course as a martial artist, in the Feldenkrais Method you take my balance and I have to find a new balance." Chiba Sensei, 8th Dan Aikido

“Dr. Feldenkrais ... clarifies the interrelation and intermingled working of gravitation, body, bones, muscles, nerves, consciousness, subconscious, and unconsciousness and opens the way for better understanding." Koizumi Sensei, 7th Dan Judo

“When you know what you are doing, you can do what you want.”
-Moshe Feldenkrais
