Smart Moves® Intensive based on the work of Dr.Moshe Feldenkrais

“Movement is life and without movement life is unthinkable.”

– Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais

 

First time on Oahu:

This is an amazing opportunity to train in Smart Moves® which is based on the work of Dr. Feldenkrais, in Honolulu, with qualified teachers!

 

Smart Moves®  

one-year Intensive

for Professionals  

 (Level One*)

with Eva Geueke 

and with guest Feldenkrais trainer Jerry Karzen.

Jerry will present a few week-end workshops in the Feldenkrais Method® which will also highlight many of the principals of the work of Dr Feldenkrais which forms the foundation of the Smart Moves® curriculum.

 

January 2017 - October 2017   Level 1    180 hours

Immersion into Smart Moves® will establish the foundations of the Dr M. Feldenkrais's work as students develop attention to and awareness of themselves in movement. They will also develop their observational skills vis-à-vis others. Students will  come to understand the rudiments of rest, stability, ground, basic directions, orientation, self-image, imagination, rhythm, patterns, variation, “neutrality,” and their relevance to movement and learning. Principles of minimizing effort and of reversibility will be emphasized.

From the beginning, it will be underscored that Smart Moves® consists of both Smart Moves Integration® (– the hands on method) SMI and Smart Moves Lessons® SML , and that learning may be facilitated through verbal and/or hands-on guidance. Students will learn to touch in such a manner that touch becomes a safe, subtle, and clear means of communication, guiding the receiver to change from the inside out. This Intensive will be geared to work with children but also applies to all cliental!

* there will be a 2nd level following this training. This module is complete into itself with certification.

Learning Strategies

25 Awareness through Movement ATM® hours– will be required throughout the training outside of the training not included in price 

 3 Functional Integration lessons FI® will be given through out the year of training (value $330) included in price.

Smart Moves Integration® Hands-on practice will be introduced from the beginning of the program. Trainees will become aware of issues of quality and clarity of touch, pressure and movement, not only as they touch and are touched by their peers, but also through verbal and non-verbal guidance from the trainer. 

 

Over the course of the training, the process for giving and shaping a Smart Moves Integration will be expanded, as trainees learn how particular movements and variations familiar through SML®

(Smart Moves Lessons) allow for the development of themes, how particular strategies and principles from SML® translate into hands on Practice, and how the use of the self, learned in part through ATM®/ SML® and receiving Hands on FI®, is relevant to giving Smart-Moves-Integration individual lessons with special emphasis on children but relevant for all ages.
