Feldenkrais for Sports

Learn to shift from "somatic" vocabulary to "sports" vocabulary. Instead of "learning" or "relaxation," use terms like "strategy," "efficiency," "proportional effort," and "injury prevention" to gain credibility with coaches and club directors.

Master the technique of "Active Recovery"—using props (towels, foam, balloons) to fill the voids between the body and the floor. Learn how this structural support allows the nervous system to lower muscle tonus without stretching, resetting the athlete to a neutral state.

Move away from the standard hour-long session. Learn to deliver concise, goal-oriented Functional Integration (FI) lessons in 15 minutes, directly on the sidelines or during training, focusing on immediate transferability to the sport.

Explore the difference between "pressing" into the ground and finding an "internal point of support." Through dynamic ATMs, learn how to help athletes move in any direction without preparation by shifting their center of gravity effectively.

Enhance your understanding of the body in space using the "String Lesson." Map the skeleton using vectors and lines, and use string to sculpt 3D models of the self, refining the practitioner's ability to handle the "volume" of an athlete's limbs.

Understand the hierarchy of sports clubs. Learn why pitching to a coach requires a different strategy than pitching to a club director, and how to frame Feldenkrais as a tool for club prestige and financial saving (via injury reduction).
