FI lessons with expanded narration & analysis to help you understand Functional Integration as both a methodology & a creative art form.

 

 

David Zemach-Bersin is regarded as one of the finest exponents of Functional Integration in the world. He developed his approach and style during ten years of study with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and forty years of dedicated private practice.

The lessons in this series were filmed during workshops, advanced trainings, and Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs, and are not intended to demonstrate technique, but rather to show full complex Functional Integration lessons with expanded narration which reveals the mysterious inside art of high-level Functional Integration.

"I love working on this Feldenkrais Method in Action series. By adding narration to FI videos, I am able to explain more about my Functional Integration work than ever before. I can share details about what I was seeing or wondering about--moment to moment--and explain the lesson as it progresses. You will see me following hunches and doubts, navigating the unknown until finally, I zero in on a critical piece of new information.

-David Zemach Bersin

As the lessons unfold, David shares his sensory experience and thought process, and explains the relevant functional, biological, neurological, anatomical, psychological, and strategic aspects of each lesson.

With new inside perspectives, you will observe the relationship between sensations, perceptions and actions, and the changes which take place simultaneously in the practitioner, the lesson, and the student.

"I strongly recommend that any practitioner interested in how a master teacher creates a Functional Integration lesson watch these five lessons. I know that I will return back to them for continued learning."

-Staffan Elgelid PhD, PT, GCFP, C-IAYT
