Body Knowledge: A Continuing Education Course for Movement Specialists Based on the Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education

by Andrea Higgins

Whether you are a Fitness & Wellness Expert, a Performing Arts Educator, an Athletic Coach, or a Medical Professional, you are in the business of motivating your clients or students to make healthy choices with respect to exercise and training. Nothing empowers an individual more than the process of learning. "Body Knowledge: A Continuing Education Course for Movement Specialists based on the Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education" will introduce you to a deeply therapeutic mind body method.

The Feldenkrais Method connects us to our ability to learn through sensory awareness. A deeper connection to the relationship between sensory awareness and learning can have a profound impact on how we function physically. In this course you will first experience the benefits yourself by engaging in four Awareness Through Movement lessons. You will then participate in reflective writing exercises that will help you analyze and understand how Feldenkrais lessons are structured. Finally, you will learn how to apply the teaching strategies to your own movement specialty. When your clients feel the difference that integrating Feldenkrais training can make in their body use and comfort, they will value your expertise even more.

This online course includes: 1. Your web book, enhanced with audio of four Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons; 2. Access to a free e-workbook and audio mp3 files of your ATM lessons; 3. Access to three levels of testing that include Certificates of Completion, for those who need to document Professional Development Hours. (Additional fees apply for testing.)

About the author

We are all—as part of the human condition—moving and being moved. Studies show that when we see someone perform a movement, we share the experience on a visceral level. When we see movement performed in a context that gives it deeper meaning, we feel its emotional underpinnings.

I am drawn to the dance of everyday living, and I am interested in the hero’s journey of the students I mentor. By teaching them how to use movement and awareness as the means to understand themselves more deeply, I trust that they will find purpose, meaning, and beauty in their actions along the way.
