Post-Graduate 30 Day Certification Program
Mia Segal studied
and worked with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais starting in 1957 and for
fifteen years was his only student-assistant. He shared with her
his thoughts and ideas as he was developing his unique method. She
was, as he wrote "my apprentice sculptor in human bodies".
Now
50 years since the beginning of her work with
Moshe,
Mia will share a
never-before-presented program
with material that Moshe Feldenkrais generously passed on to her,
having had no chance to present.
Raised
in this household and with this work and philosophy,
Leora was
naturally part of the Feldenkrais lineage. Handed as a family
legacy, Mia and Leora honed, distilled and defined the work in
order to pass it on and ensure its true continuity.
It
is now being offered to Feldenkrais practitioners and teachers, as
a Postgraduate Certificate Program.
The program includes
designated modules on
the following subjects:
* work with
CHILDREN.
*specific
STRATEGIES for
whiplash, scoliosis, frozen shoulder, herniated discs and other
resurring issues.
*Psychological
approach
with and needs of clients.
*taking care of
your own well being as
a practitioner.
Make the Illusive Obvious explicit and usable:
•Soak
up the hands-on experience with naturalness and simplicity.
•Feel confidence with simple knowing.
•Learn how to 'not diagnose & conclude' and allow what you
see and feel to speak.
Upon
successful completion, you will be awarded The Feldenkrais
Postgraduate Certificate,
signed by Mia Segal and Leora Gaster.
Session 1: Know Where You Are
*
Know Where You Are,
includes the first in a series of gradual approximations and
expansion of skills around the following topics:
•
Defining Movement Patterns – transferring to
FI’s
Detect
and follow underlying patterns, develop precise strategies for
FI's, assembling a strategy for seeing, designing and carrying out
FI’s.
•
Variations in Touch
Expand
your toolbox in qualities of touch, techniques, directions, nuances
and your mastery of effects.
•
Use patterns and learn from ATMs
Doing,
observing and sorting ATM’s into patterns of essential
movements. You will learn to identify pivotal points of an ATM,
begin to model it apply it to other ATM’s along a logical
path.
•
Applied FIs in Sequentially Progressive
Steps
Exploring
sequences as defined above, explore a variety
of FI’ connected to a pattern and learn to build on it.
Develop a progressively deeper understanding of how the work is
assembled, just as Dr. Feldenkrais showed it to us.
There
will be NO admissions after the first session.
NOTE: Each
participant will be personally interviewed to determine suitability
for completion of the program.
