Learning to Think With Images, Patterns, and Connections
Discovering the Art and Benefits of Employing Inflatable Balls in Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration
Advanced Training with Ilana Nevill
After more than 20 years of exploring how such learning tools can facilitate psycho-somatic learning in the Feldenkrais Method, I feel confident enough to quote Moshe Feldenkrais:
You will be surprised what you can do. I was surprised. *

Novelty and Surprise in Feldenkrais
* The quotation from which I took the title for this Advanced Training was published by Feldenkrais Resources in an e-mail communication, 6.5.2017
The way I teach my students to work is to bring them into conditions where they can learn to think. They have to learn to think without words, with images, patterns, and connections. That sort of thinking always leads to a new way of action. ... Maybe whatever you do has already been invented by somebody, but you have (now) invented it yourself. You have created it. So you can see ...you actually begin to think for the first time in your life, originally, creatively. You will be surprised what you can do. I was surprised.
* Last year (28.04.2017) the American Feldenkrais Trainer Elizabeth Beringer announced the beginning of a new training with the following words : Surprise in Feldenkrais
One of the hallmarks of Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration is the use of novelty and surprise…
Novelty and surprise can be used to engage the prefrontal areas of the brain in a way that potentiates learning and makes it maximally effective.
Using inflatable balls in our method is a sure way of surprising both yourself and your students !
You would benefit from the June workshop by informing yourself in advance about the crucial function of connective tissue, the «fascia». (See YouTube and Wikipedia). Extraordinary recent scientific discoveries (presented in French) are to be found by clicking:
