Russell Delman, the trainer based out of California, has over 30 years of experience and teaches around the world and likes to offer free introductions as a community service whenever he can.
The Feldenkrais Method is somatic educational system designed by Moshé Feldenkrais (1904-1984). The Feldenkrais method is designed to improve movement repertoire, aiming to expand and refine the use of the self through awareness, in order to reduce pain or limitations in movement, and promote general well-being. The Feldenkrais Method is often regarded as falling within the field of integrative medicine or complementary medicine. Current research on the neuro-plasticity, by scientists as Norman Doidge and Michael Merzenich may support Feldenkrais' key theories of the possibilities of somatic re-education.
