The Feldenkrais Method®
Finding fluid movement
Learning is turning darkness, which is the absence of light, into light. Learning is creation. It is making something out of nothing. Learning grows until it dawns on you.
(Moshe Feldenkrais)
What is the Feldenkrais Method®?
Slow and gentle EVOLUTION towards EFFORTLESS movement
The Feldenkrais Method® is a gentle, effective way of improving everyday movement by helping a person become more aware of how they move. Rooted in neuroscience and movement science, it supports learning through ease, curiosity, and comfort.
People come to Feldenkrais for many reasons—some are recovering from injury or dealing with chronic issues like back pain or RSI, while others are performers or athletes seeking to refine their movement in high-performance settings. The method is also beneficial for those with neurological challenges related to stroke or cerebral palsy.
There are two main ways to experience Feldenkrais:
Awareness Through Movement (ATM): Group classes (typically 50 minutes) where a teacher verbally guides you through slow, exploratory movements. These lessons help you recognise and shift unconscious movement habits, creating space for new, more functional patterns.
Functional Integration (FI): One-to-one sessions using hands-on touch. You lie fully clothed on a low padded table while the practitioner gently guides your body through specific movements. This tactile feedback can bring about deep and immediate changes in how you move, breathe, and rest.
Regular practice can lead to reduced pain and tension, greater ease, and a clearer sense of balance and coordination in your everyday life promoting longevity.

Free open source recordings of Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons
The goal of the OpenATM Project at openATM.org is to make Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons available to everyone around the world.
The Open ATM Project allows you to download (right click) the ATM lessons to your device and do the lessons whenever you want.
Many of these lessons are reinterpretations of (inspired by and loosely based on) ATM lessons taught by Moshe Feldenkrais at the Alexander Yanai, Esalan, San Fransisco and Amherst trainings, or other workshops. These rich and diverse set of lessons are available from the International Feldenkrais Federation or Feldenkrais Resources.
These audio lessons are not reproductions of the original lessons. For the online lessons, the sources – for example the original Alexander Yanai lesson titles – are retained for scholarship purposes and to properly acknowledge the ideas and structure of the original lessons.
Every year, the UK Feldenkrais Guild teachers record a lesson especially for International Feldenkrais Week. You can find them all here to stream (listen to) or download (keep) for your personal use – they are not for commercial use.
Although Robert occasionally teaches public ATM classes and posts details here, there are regular weekly classes taught by many different teachers across the UK – listings can be found on the UK Guild website through its Find a Class function.
