An individual lesson in the Feldenkrais Method is called Functional Integration<\/strong>. The name sounds technical; the lesson itself is not. If you have never been, you usually don’t know what to expect \u2013 so here it is.<\/p>\n We begin sitting down, with a few minutes of conversation. What brings you here? Is there something that isn’t going well right now \u2013 a movement, a habit, a goal? I also ask about injuries and operations, not to diagnose, but so that I know where I need to be careful.<\/p>\n Often I briefly watch you walk, stand or sit. Not to correct anything, but to see how you organise yourself.<\/p>\n You stay fully dressed. Usually you lie on a low, padded table \u2013 on your back, your side or your front, depending on the theme. Some lessons take place sitting or standing.<\/p>\n Then I move you. Very slowly, in very small ranges, supported with rolls, cushions and blankets so that you don’t have to hold anything. I might lift your head a little, push gently from the hip, turn the ribcage minimally. In between, for long stretches nothing visible happens.<\/p>\n Your task is: to do nothing. Not to help, not to correct, not to anticipate where I am going. That is exactly what feels unfamiliar for many people \u2013 and it is the actual learning. As your nervous system notices that a movement can be easy even without your effort, its picture of what is possible changes.<\/p>\n A lesson lasts about 60 minutes. Little is said.<\/p>\n At the end you stand up and walk a few steps. Common feedback: the floor feels different. One side feels longer than the other. The head turns further. Some people feel very awake, others pleasantly tired.<\/p>\n Don’t plan anything that needs full concentration afterwards. A walk along the Danube is a better idea than getting straight into the car and into a meeting.<\/p>\n That depends on what it is about. For a specific question \u2013 a movement that doesn’t work \u2013 a few lessons are sometimes enough. For a habit that has existed for twenty years, it takes more time. I will tell you honestly if I have the impression that someone else would be better suited to help you.<\/p>\n An individual lesson costs 80 euros (50 euros in December 2026 and January 2027) and takes place at Rossatz 12, in the rooms of Matsya Yoga<\/a> in the old kindergarten next to the church \u2013 about 15 minutes from Krems. We arrange appointments directly, by phone at +43 699 17050606<\/a> or via the contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you would like to try it out first, the group lesson<\/a> is the more affordable way in. Further questions are answered on the FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Feldenkrais Method is a way of learning. I am a Feldenkrais practitioner, not a physiotherapist. The lessons do not replace medical examination, diagnosis or therapy.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What happens in a Feldenkrais individual lesson (Functional Integration): the conversation at the start, what the gentle touch is like, what to wear and how you may feel afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-understanding-feldenkrais"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=800"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":812,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/800\/revisions\/812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ristorcellifeldenkrais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}The conversation at the start<\/h2>\n
