What Makes the
Feldenkrais Touch Unique and Effective?
"Inside Touch" reveals the repertoire of Functional Integration®
- from skeletal contact, directional touch, kinesthetic conversation, the listening
hand, and tactile tracking to the most advanced techniques. Exploring the
strategies, tactics, and techniques that comprise Functional Integration lessons,
you learn how touch teaches, while refining hands-on sensitivity and developing
your tactile intuition. Doing Awareness Through Movement® lessons
that examine the relationship of the hand and arm to the center, you learn
about how you engage in touch, recognizing and starting to move beyond the
influence of your habits.
• Recognize
what students need and discover how to engage their curiosity.
• Cultivate hands-on sensitivity, skill and strategy.
• Learn what makes a lesson a lesson . . . and how to turn that knowledge
into persuasive, lasting learning.
What Every
Practitioner Needs to Know
• Turn
“figuring out what to do” into a way to inspire curiosity and facilitate learning.
• Guide students to appreciate their problems and challenges in the
context of larger patterns.
• Learn to recognize and effectively use the seven aspects of movement.
• Deepen your sensibility and develop evocative, skillful touch.
• Transform roadblocks and set-backs into learning opportunities.
• Give memorable, meaningful lessons.

What are people saying about
Trilogy?
"The Trilogy let’s us
get back to very basis of our learning as Feldenkrais practitioners.
It offers a fresh view on what it is that we actually do in ATM and FI. With
the SPIFFER structure, what we see becomes clearer and, together, with the
broad space given for practicing FI, more clarity in touch emerges." -Monika Vogelmann, Physician and Feldenkrais Practitioner,
Bad Segeberg, Germany
"Larry is a teacher who
teaches that it is individuals - and not groups - that learn. Thus learning
in The Trilogy not only takes place in the actual workshop day, but also
in the time between the segments. One gets great ideas for one’s own process
while having a lot of fun learning!" -Corinna Eikmeier, Cellist, Musician and Feldenkrais
Practitioner, Hannover, Germany
"For me personally, enrolling in The Trilogy was an important step. But I
only discovered this after I had joined the training (after two sessions).
Now my work has new quality: I would say much more clarity in how I see and
understand the work and teach lessons." -Jacek Paszkowski, Physiotherapist and Feldenkrais
Practitioner, Warsow, Poland
"Larry showed me again with how much ease and fun learning can happen!" -Roswitha Rath, Feldenkrais Practitioner, Graz,
Austria
"Thanks for the different models for guiding the learning process and supporting
the communication between practitioners. I have a new, much deeper understanding
of the method that is concrete and powerful. It’s exciting to now know that
my understanding and skills are going to continue get better and better .
. . feels great. I already notice the impact of the 5 days on the ATMs that
I gave yesterday and the FIs today - that is amazing, really amazing!
Larry's way of teaching is fun, precise, extremely
open and at the same time guided by his past "errors,” that he generously
shares. I have become aware of the "things that I'll do wrong". It was especially
great in the second segment to use simple "well-known" moves in FI as a way
to move towards a deeper appreciation of technique, simpler & more efficient
self-use and to improve the quality of the dialogue between practitioner and
student." -Lynn Bullock, Feldenkrais Practitioner, Paris,
France
"I love Larry's models. His distillation of the method into recognizable categories
helps my teaching in so many ways: my ability to assess and understand movement
improves, my communication gets richer, I have a much larger palette of directions,
cues and teaching strategies to choose from, and I become better at guiding
my clients to discover aspect of themselves that they don't yet know. SPIFFER,
the "Seven C's," and the other maps from The Trilogy have given me a truer,
deeper understanding of the underpinnings of Feldenrkais lessons." -Frederick Schjang, Feldenkrais teacher and Pilates
instructor
