The Master Moves
Sunday 5th & 19th August
10am-4pm
Minor Works Building
22 Stamford Court, Adelaide
Cost $180 (full program) or $95 single day
BYO lunch
In 1979 Dr. Feldenkrais taught a five-day course at Mann Ranch, California. The Awareness Through Movement lessons presented may be familiar, however they are all composed in refreshingly new ways. The thematically diverse and engaging movement experiences are interwoven with informative theoretical discussions, making the relationship between theory and practice in the Feldenkrais Method more evident.
Presenting selected extracts from this program, this course is perfect for anyone wishing to discover the Feldenkrais Method, deepen their experience of Awareness Through Movement and extend their understanding of the thinking that informs practice.
Presented by Dr Susan Hillier and Jane Searle over 2 Sundays, you will participate in a series of movement explorations and discussions. You will discover fascinating and useful insights about your own movement that will enhance your mastery of yourself.
Susan Hillier CFT, Ph.D.
Susan graduated from the Melbourne 1 Feldenkrais Professional Training program in 1991. Since then she has conducted her own private practice, incorporating the Feldenkrais Method into her work with people regaining function after catastrophic injury or illness. She also works as an academic, teaching and researching in the broad area of neuroscience with a particular interest in motor control and motor learning. The combination of her work with clients, her research into better ways to promote brain recovery post-injury and her teaching means that she is grounded, up-to-date and relevant.

The latest book by Norman Doidge
This book includes well written chapters about Moshe
Feldenkrais and a very clear description about the
principles of the Feldenkrais Method®.
Click here to read an excerpt.
National Pain Week is approaching us again and many Feldenkrais Practitioners from the Australian Feldenkrais Guild (a not for profit organisation) are running events all over the nation for members of our community who have chronic pain. For nation wide events click here.
Locally in Adelaide, you can come along to a class in Lockleys, Grange or St Peters and experience a free class during this week exploring how the Feldenkrais Method may assist you. See group classes for more information
Classes are based on our current understanding of neuroscience principles. Using education, gentle attentive movement exploration (including imagined movements and mental imagery) the class will target your brain's ability to change, learn and rewire, refining your sensory feedback/output systems.
Watch this video by Cynthia Allen to learn how the Feldenkrais Method help reduce chronic pain.
