We will highlight a variety of practical applications in which the method is effectively used, and include well-established Feldenkrais trainers and practitioners who are actively practicing and teaching in trainings. We feel it is especially important to interview those who studied with Moshe Feldenkrais, so as to preserve their stories and knowledge.
