The awareness correlates between the intention to achievement
What do I teach?
I usually teach and supervise people I have already met and know. Since Feldenkrais is a dialogic pedagogy, I strive to design the lessons in a way that stimulates the majority of the participants’ Feldenkrais process and the skills they want to improve.
That said, I teach within the framework of the Feldenkrais path. Sometimes, I use Moshe Feldenkrais’s own lessons as a starting point, or I create my own lessons according to the principles I learned from Yochanan Rywerant. I see the Feldenkrais model as a dialect of the human language of learning and being.
I teach classical Feldenkrais, integrating theory and practice, which makes the meta-comments important.
I plan my lessons so that a directed reference to Moshe Feldenkrais’s textbook of lessons is available, with various personal interpretations and necessary adjustments. I do not inform about the theme in advance; participants are asked to come with an open mind and trust that a lesson is a lesson.
Each lesson is independent. They can be explored one by one or in the order they were thaught.
I call the Feldenkrais Method I learned from Yochanan Rywerant, and indirectly from Moshe Feldenkrais, Classical.
It is traditional in style and form, grounded in Feldenkrais’ Hebrew work Shichlul HaYecholet: Halacha v’Ma’aseh, with particular reference to Chapter 4, The Structure and Virtues of Its Function, together with the authorship of Yochanan Rywerant. It has been sustained over a long period of time, from the early years in Tel Aviv, and remains vibrant.
For example, Google translate works well between Swedish and English. If it (or an equivalent) is installed in the browser menu, it is just a click away to make my Swedish texts available. The entire web page can be easily translated if this feature is requested. My four websites are text-rich because Moshe Feldenkrais clearly states that it is easier to explore practical lessons if there is a good understanding of the theoretical structure that underlies his teaching model.
I note that the Swedish "självbild" translates automatically to "self picture"...
