“I came to study with Mia directly after finishing my Foundation Training. I had a lot of information, but it wasn’t organized very well for me. Directly after working with MBS Academy, it became clear to me they provided a much clearer organization of the information. Its in their clarity and simplicity that the most profound learning has come through for me. ... and The clearer i am, the simpler i can be, and the simpler I can be, the more profound my living, my learning and my teaching can be. It’s a great gift.” KZ, MBS Master Practitioner
“I’ve been practicing and studying with MBS academy for
6 years now. and I highly recommend for anyone who is interesting
in the Feldenkrais Method, you definitely MUST study with Mia and
Leora. They were the closest to Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, and in my
opinion they have the deepest understanding of the
work.” SS, MBS
Student
“Mia and Leora’s brilliance, compassion, directness,
and humour not only helped me to see with new eyes, but gave me a
profound new respect for the delicate dance between myself and
others. Thank you so much!” E Dove, Austin, TX
“Mia
and Leora gave to me a
deeper sense of understanding and
really
feeling empowered by the
work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. It’s been very very beneficial
to me both personally and professionally. I am very grateful to
them for their help and support and the sense of empowerment I have
through their work.” W Murdoch, MBS Master
Student
“The
simplicity, elegance,
and the
beauty
of Mia and Leora’s teaching still astonishes
me.” Student, 2011
“One of the greatest delights for me is in the
playfulness of the work.
That is something I see so much in everything Mia and Leora
do.” DP, MBS Student
“Mia’s
FI’s are AMAZING. Never before have I
seen such dramatic differences in such a short amount of time. I
have learned more by simply observing her demonstrations and
listening to her interactions with clients. WOW!
Priceless!” JC, Feldenkrais
Practitioner
“One of the most important
things I’ve learned from Mia and Leora is
It’s not just about movement, it’s about
life.”
CM
“Leora Gaster is a
superb representative and practitioner of an outstanding set of
patterns.. [she] would be a prize to capture in any program of this
type.” John Grinder, Co-founder of
NLP
“Working
with Mia and Leora has been the most extraordinary, life changing
experience. I
met Mia in Berkeley, and I was fascinated with her and her
CLARITY.
...I watched her work with people and I saw how they changed before
my eyes, and
...I longed to feel the masters hands. and
...I
had the privilege to have an FI with her that literally changed my
life.
I have learned so much in terms of
my
own potential,
the
clarity and
precision,
the finding of oneself in the work and
introducing the person on the table to another aspect of themselves
through the work.” PU, MBS Assistant Trainer
“Thank
you for a truly amazing training. I learned so much and I’m
sure will keep learning from what you’ve taught. I
can’t wait to get my hands on my first student today!”
RG, MBS Advanced Student
“As
a practitioner, I’ve learned so much from Mia and Leora
and
I want to share the benefits that have come to me through this work
with other people.
This is the way I can contribute to people and make the world a
better place.
I know how much people suffer when it comes to their pain and
discomfort and limitations...
and all we want from people is to have them be fully who they are
and
I get that gift working with Mia and Leora -- the ability to fully
be myself!
I just want to extend that to all the people that are in my
life.
I want them to be the best that they can be. and be Happy, out of
fear.
So, if you are thinking about Feldenkrais,
COME JOIN US!” Rich, MBS Master
Practitioner
“The
simple message:
Observe, Confirm, and
Connect. The framework
that Mia and Leora taught us over these five days was based on a
rigorous, but simple method of phenomenological observation. It can
be used with any ATM, any FI, and any person, in any situation, to
develop a moving, effective relationship which reveals in each of
us “the essential core of a thing that makes it what it is
and what it becomes.” AS, MBS Master
Practitioner

Your lesson in early
March . . . so beautifully linked with the San Diego material of
January, plus your compassion in hearing the story/ offering to
brain storm with me related to my Mother's brain injury, moved me
to a new place. With deep appreciation, I thank you.

Dear Mia and Leora,
I am still resonating from the wonderful training in January in New
York.
I feel like a light bulb with plenty of shining in me. I appreciate
the elegant simplicity and clarity of your teachings this winter
and I am able to use them with such joy and pleasure in the
successful movement of my dancers and students. Because we have had
such a brutally cold winter here in New York City, I have had to
apply the lessons to myself often, in order to keep my breathing
easily available. The lessons work! I see you are teaching
all over and I miss you both. I am waiting eagerly for the notice
of the next segment here. PM Student,

I spent yesterday with B...wow! I could notice several major
improvements... the way she walks, run, stands, and sits. Here
attitude is really good...she's been getting out more. I think that
the changes that you helped her make in her body, led to changes in
her attitude. All I can say is “Wow!” I also watched
the DVD... I can begin to see how you think about the
body.
Father of CP child,

I can’t put into words how meaningful my experience learning
from you and Mia in San Diego and again with you yesterday in
Austin has been. I will jump at any chance I have to continue
to study with you. I am interested in participating in the
Post Graduate Training in Berkeley.

Wow. Wow. Wow. This scoliosis stuff is Le Bomb!
I had a new client come to see me this morning with neck and
shoulder pain. Now that I know what to look for it was
obvious to me that the pain is related to a scoliosis that she
has.
So I gave a lesson like the lesson I saw you give B and J (kneeling
over the table)--certainly not as well as you did, but the same
ideas, and lo and behold, when she stood up she had grown 3/8 of an
inch!
This is so fantastic!!!
Thank you so much!
Please let us know when you'll be back to teach again

This reminder to stick with what we know was both demanding and a
big relief. It's a relief to know that what we know is simple and
effective. It doesn't need to be more than that.
