What Is It?
A Feldenkrais Functional Integration Lesson (FI) consists of gentle, hands-on work designed to relieve pain and reduce stress.
FI lessons are founded upon principles of physics and biomechanics, as well as the belief that all human beings have the potential
to learn and improve in their functioning significantly regardless of age or physical condition. During an FI lesson, the
student lies comfortably on a table, fully clothed, while the practitioner uses his or her hands to show them how they move
already and to help them become more conscious of options in movement of which they may be unaware. For the student, this
process often results in producing a sensation of newfound comfort and ease while performing any range of physical tasks.
Additionally, students often report feeling “taller”, “lighter”, and “more
relaxed” following an FI lesson.
