Master Practitioner Course
This course
provides comprehensive insight and mastery of the Feldenkrais
material. We will examine, practice, code and apply the material on
multiple levels, setting precise goals for transformation and
progress in individuals and group-settings and switch application
and focus, to suit precise goals in each context. We will spend
experiential self-development time, as well as professional-skill
development.
Continually working to keep the true
knowledge alive through you, practitioners and teachers, we help
our students develop the highest standards of therapeutic abilities
and self-empowerment, in a comprehensive study of personal and
professional growth.
