The buzz words “core strength” are often associated with the Pilates Method. However, Moshe Feldenkrais showed us a different way to address core strength through many complex and multidimensional Feldenkrais movement lessons that involve the core muscles. In this workshop, we will study the anatomy and function of these muscles, learn core-specific movements, and compare and contrast what the Feldenkrais Method and Pilates approaches have to offer to core strength.
