He was a physicist, engineer, athlete, judo master, behavioral physiologist and psychologist. He developed this art of creative learning to improve and refine every movement. He was born in 1904 in today's Ukraine, emigrated, literally, at the age of 14 to what was then Palestine, studied and later earned a doctorate in physics with Joliot-Curie in Paris. He was an avid athlete, the first European to hold a judo black belt. When Moshe Feldenkrais was almost unable to walk after a knee injury, he developed a method to help himself. In doing so, he discovered the importance of learning how to learn, taking into account one's own body. From decades of research into the human learning process, Feldenkrais developed the two techniques of his method: the group class he called "Awareness through Movement" and the individual class he called "Functional Integration". Feldenkrais gained attention and recognition beyond the borders of Israel, especially when the picture of David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of the State of Israel, standing on his head on the beach in Tel Aviv, passed through the world press. It is important to know that the overweight prime minister had already suffered for decades from chronic back pain, respiratory problems and other serious health disorders, which forced him to resign early from his state office. It was not until late in life that Moshé Feldenkrais began to share his method. He first taught a small group in Israel, followed by two larger training groups in the USA in 1975 and 1980. Feldenkrais died in Israel in 1984.Today, the Feldenkrais Method is known almost worldwide due to the tireless efforts of his students.Feldenkrais teachers have undergone a mostly 4-year training approved by the International Feldenkrais Training and Accreditation Board, which prescribes certain standards.
