Ideas in Action Vol. 1: Improving Walking

By Larry Goldfarb

Learn the structure & strategy of Functional Integration® (FI) lessons. Explore the theory and practice of the Method by teaching lessons around a specific functional theme. Develop an understanding of not just what to do, but why. Each phase of a lesson is presented in technical detail with an explanation of the reasoning behind it. Following the same logic as a musical score, Ideas In Action brings to light the compositional sense, technical organization and experiential processes that underlie effective, unforgettable learning.

You will learn, step-by-step, what to notice and how to respond. This fosters a deep appreciation of the grammar & syntax of lessons necessary to become a reflective practitioner. The finer points of technique and self-use are clarified.

In this program you will:

• Cultivate movement observation abilities
• Refine hands-on sensitivity & skills
• Develop better self-use
• Study classic lesson composition
• Learn FI scores & strategies
• Enhance creativity & intuition
• Become a more effective educator

Join with one or more practitioners in a study group using Ideas in Action as a part of your self-directed study to gain Continuing Education Credits toward your Feldenkrais Practitioner Certification.

   "The DVDs have been great, making it affordable for us to meet our CEU requirements and giving us an excuse to gather together from far and wide to share these ideas. The recordings are friendly and accessible.
   "I am so enjoying Larry’s thorough, thoughtful teaching style. I love his sense of humor and approachability. I hope that one day I'll be able to participate in a live class, but the DVDs are the next best thing."
   --Anne Ryan Miller, Nashville, IN
