Post-graduate FI Study-Group 2025

Making a lesson meaningful

This series of workshops is dedicated to deepening the art of Functional Integration. The human connection, and your ability to make the lesson meaningful to your student allows the magic of learning to happen.

A coherent FI structure, precision and clarity of intention grow from your functional understanding of a lesson. This understanding is deepened by your own experience of specific ATMs and related background knowledge. From here you can easily recognise when each FI might be useful, allowing you to create a bridge to someone's life and the things they really want to be able to do.

Open to graduates of Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs.


"Diaphragm, Breathing Space, Stability" - 11th/12th January

Structural and functional interactions between diaphragm, iliopsoas, quadratus lumborum and transversus abdominis make for a great potential in the centre of the body: a potential for disturbances... and a potential for relief. We can address essential connections between breathing, alignment, internal stability and support both directly and indirectly. This core of connections is like a switchboard for change, where impulses inevitably distribute and influence each other.

This FI in side-lying is a wonderful "standard work" to have in your repertoire.

Dates: 11th/12th January 2025
Times:
09:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00 (CET) on Zoom
Participation Fee:
225,-€ (incl. 19% VAT=35,92€ )

"Directing Forces through the Diagonals" - 26th/27th April

This Fi in supine has a clear structure and utilzes connections between distal and proximal. Exploring diagonal connections by compressing or lengthening through arms and legs allows us to reach into the pelvis, spine, chest and shouldergirdle. Helping your student to sense a clear transmission of force through the trunk can be useful for addressing the ability to mobilize, stabilize and support onesself over a standing leg - freeing the opposite arm for reaching or the opposite leg for walking.

We will also look at ways to include active participation of your client. This helps learning to become accessible and reproducable.

Dates: 26th/27th April 2025
Times:
09:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00 (CET) on Zoom
Participation Fee:
225,-€ (incl. 19% VAT=35,92€ )

"Enabling the Twist" - 14th/15th June

Structural and functional relationships that allow well-distributed rotation around the longitudinal axis are fundamental to human movement. Last learnt and first lost, almost everyone will benefit by clarifying this basic function. A better understanding of the way we combine movement in different planes to create curves, arcs, and turnings allows you to recognise your client's personal tendencies and target integration of other aspects of the twist.

We will work in the classic side-lying position, emphasising a deeper understanding of the prerequisites for the twist.

Dates: 14th/15th June 2025
Times:
09:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00 (CET) on Zoom
Participation Fee:

"Getting to Know the Hip Joints" - 27th/28th September

Clarifying the hip joints is one of the most fundamentally effective learning experiences you can offer your students. Westernised people, who often spend a lot of time sitting in chairs, benefit enormously from a new awareness of the role of the hip joints. "Hip Joints Backwards" is a basic requirement for uprightness, relief of overworked back extensors, effortless sitting, easier standing and walking, as well as climbing, jumping, squatting or simply using the stairs...

We will work in prone with a roller in front of the hip-joints.

Dates: 27th/28th September 2025
Times:
09:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00 (CET) on Zoom
Participation Fee:
225,-€ (incl. 19% VAT=35,92€ )

"Balancing the Head" - 22nd/23rd November

What is necessary for the head and neck to move in any direction with ease, in order to gather information from the environment? A sense for the weight of the head and how it finds support in the trunk is crucial in order to distribute forces down through the spine and pelvis, and from there to either leg. Parts of the body that are not supported from below must instead be held with unneccessary effort. Balance, length, posture and walking all improve by improving the balance of the head.

The ability to address and reorganise these relationships is a central task of our FI work.

Dates: 22nd/23rd November 2025
Times:
09:00-12:00 and 13:00-15:00 (CET) on Zoom
Participation Fee:
225,-€ (incl. 19% VAT=35,92€ )

Consolidate your knowledge and develop confidence

Excerpt from “Ambition” by David Whyte

The workshops include :

  • Theoretical & practical background related to a particular FI structure
  • ATMs illustrating the functional pattern of action
  • Reflection on the process of making a lesson a meaningful
  • FI demonstrations and self-exploration
  • References to Moshe's work
  • Clarifications, Q&A, reflection, group discussion
  • Guided FIs & FI practice with clients
  • Strategies for learning vs. change

"A true vocation calls us out beyond ourselves, breaks our heart in the process and then humbles, simplifies and enlightens us about the hidden, core nature of the work that enticed us in the first place. We find that, all along, we had what we needed from the beginning..."
