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

As a wellness professional, you are in the business of motivating clients to make healthier choices and empowering them to do so wisely. Nothing empowers an individual more that the process of learning. The Body Knowledge continuing education course introduces you to the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education. This method connects us to our ability to learn kinesthetically and, ultimately, achieve a heightened sense of kinesthetic awareness and enhanced functioning on all levels.

Incorporate the nine simple-yet-effective Feldenkrais teaching strategies covered in this program into the individual fitness programs or classes you design for your clients, and you will be giving them a gift that goes beyond stronger, leaner bodies. Practice of the Feldenkrais Method is known to:
  • Improve balance
  • Reduce chronic pain
  • Increase the ability to sense and perceive the body in action and thus enhance athletic performance

Once your clients connect to the internal strength and intelligence the Feldenkrais Method accentuates, they will value the motivation you provide more deeply. So set yourself apart from your competitors in the rapidly growing health and wellness field. Don't just exercise their bodies—educate them!

Includes:

  • Booklet (60 pages)
  • 2 audio compact discs. (Running time: approximately 100 minutes)
