TRAINING

Feldenkrais Practitioner Training Program

A new program began in Los Angeles in June 2006 with enrollment through March 2007. Late enrollment requires intensive make-up sessions for coursework covered since the original starting date.

The entire program lasts 4 curriculum years, 40 days per curriculum year, and will take three calendar years to complete (each curriculum year lasts nine months).

The coursework offers a profound and pleasurable learning experience. You’ll balance your time between intense study and periods to assimilate the depth of information. Classes are woven together in an experiential and exploratory manner. Hands-on lessons, lectures, discussion groups, reading and dvds will help guide you to learn at your own pace in a non-competitive environment.

Practitioners should contact the office to arrange drop-ins and/or retraining. Call (510) 527-2634 or e-mail us.
