Feldenkraisova metoda

The Feldenkrais Method is a practical program for integrating the physical and mental aspects of a person. It is based on the feedback given to us by our sensory organs, which leads to the improvement of desirable movement based on our own measures of efficient movement. The method can be used by athletes, artists and people who, for example due to injury or pain, want to improve their movement habits or get in better contact with their own body. The exercises are simple and require only a minimal amount of energy. They can be done individually or in a group. Although the method was developed in the mid-20th century, it remains valid today and also shows similarities to the concepts of mindfulness and neuroplasticity that have become very popular in recent decades.
In addition to more general chapters on, for example, self-image or consciousness, the book contains 12 lessons on posture, breathing, muscle coordination, pelvic movements, head posture, working with space, eye movement and thinking. A number of specific exercises are also included. The book is essential to the context of Feldenkrais' legacy and has been translated for the first time from the authorized version for the new Czech edition.
