Community Connection: Uwe Mester, Feldenkrais Practitioner®
The Feldenkrais Method® is a form of somatic education that uses gentle movement and directed attention to improve movement and enhance human functioning. It is named after its originator, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. (1904-1984), a physicist, judo expert, mechanical engineer and educator. He developed this learning method based on principles of physics, biomechanics and an empirical understanding of learning and human development.
Feldenkrais is taught in two formats: group classes called Awareness through Movement®, where the teacher leads you verbally through a sequence of gentle movements, and private lessons called Functional Integration®, which are tailored to each student’s individual learning needs.
In a Feldenkrais class the student becomes more aware of their habitual neuromuscular patterns and rigidities and expands options for new ways of moving. Feldenkrais is beneficial for those experiencing chronic or acute pain of the back, neck, shoulder, hip, legs and knee, as well as for healthy individuals who wish to improve their flexibility and coordination. Anyone – young or old, physically challenged of physically fit – can benefit from the Method.
Uwe Mester is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner® and a member of the Feldenkrais Guild® of North America and Germany. He obtained his license in a 4-year training course with Dr. Chava Shelhav in Germany.
