Since Nick Strauss-Klein launched this collection of donor-supported Feldenkrais lessons in 2015, an amazing and responsive online community has bloomed around the world. In 2018 and 2019 more than 150 people stepped up with financial, technical, and creative support to help build this new site. Thank you, from Nick and all our listeners!
Over the years we've had thousands of listeners from countries as diverse as Australia, Bulgaria, Israel, France, the UK, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands (to name just a few). Some of our listeners have been tuning in since the beginning.
We always love hearing from you! It helps us understand who is using the site and why, so we can better serve your needs and improve this resource.

It takes a global village to spread Feldenkrais learning to the many far and underserved corners of this earth! If you benefit from these lessons, please share this site with your friends and loved ones and help us expand our global community of learners. And if you have the means, please join the Project to sustain this website and help us achieve our vision.
The primary reason I’m attracted to Feldenkrais practice is its fascinating influence on the quality of my thinking. As I understand it, Feldenkrais movement stimulates the brain’s motor cortex, which is millimeters away from the brain’s strata that deals with associative processes. The motor cortex stimulation thus radiates into the associative layers. The result is describable as a loosening of the feelings and thoughts that have been patterned into my self image. The benefit to me is a marked increase in my ability to better sense the environment and make more intuitive connections among those observations. I find this impact remarkable and value it greatly. #AwarenessThroughMovement 🙂
Thanks for sharing some neurobiology with everyone! If you haven’t seen it yet, check out my blog post Embracing Our Differences for a brief discussion of some seemingly non-anatomical effects of Feldenkrais study.
