Evolution of the Method of Dr. Feldenkrais

Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais often expressed his belief that the Method he created was the beginning. As a scientist, he understood that his Method needed to continue to evolve. Dr. Feldenkrais hoped and expected that his seminal work would continue to be developed by his students.

A number of Feldenkrais Practitioners have continued to develop and evolve his method, such as Anat Baniel, Ruthy Alon, and Eilat Almagor.

Anat Baniel was very young when she began working with Dr. Feldenkrais. Over the years, Dr. Feldenkrais was not only her teacher and mentor, he also became her very good friend. Baniel remembers how Dr. Feldenkrais always encouraged her to make sure to do the work in her own way, to further develop her own unique and independent approach.

This encouragement, along with many years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, both children and adults, is what led Anat Baniel to develop the Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®.

Baniel defined the Nine Essentials that are required to drive powerful, positive brain change. Her work is world renowned for the outcomes it provides for children with special needs, reversing the symptoms of aging, brain based approach to fitness, pain relief, and helping musicians, dancers, and athletes achieve new levels of performance.
