Advanced Functional Integration Explained: A program for those who seek to understand Functional Integration as a methodology and a creative art form.
Functional Integration is an improvisatory art form with the potential to transform human organization and restore lost function. We are excited to introduce Volume Two of David Zemach-Bersin's Feldenkrais Method in Action, a series of filmed and narrated Functional Integration lessons.
"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
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.
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.
David owes the depth of his understanding to ten years of study with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, and forty years in private practice.
""No one understands Functional Integration better than David Zemach-Bersin. David has incredible mastery of both the creative spirit and technique of Functional Integration."
-Mark Reese, Ph.D. Feldenkrais Trainer and Author of Moshe Feldenkrais, A Life in Movement
