Throughout the years of developing and teaching, Moshe, along with other great minds such as Bateson, Mead, Erickson, Noguchi, Pribram, and Satir, consistently explored new scientific developments and new ways of thinking. Mia was part of that network and worked with Moshe throughout that time.  She now continues to guide practitioners in Moshe’s approach and practice, a teaching she has developed and defined through many decades of work. Leora and Mia will highlight core principles of the Feldenkrais Method®, and its visionary principles. Building on new discoveries that enhance and update these principles, they will add dimensionality, dynamism and insight that confirm the teaching’s fundamental and essential truths.

Trainees attending this workshop must be enrolled in Year 3 or 4.

Mia Segal (1969) began working with Moshe in 1956.  In his words: “…my apprentice sculptor in human bodies…with you I reached summits that alone I could not reach. The best lessons I ever gave were inspired by your encouraging gaze.” They worked side by side exclusively for 16 years, while Moshe developed the work and expanded its applications, and in the 1970’s, began teaching together internationally. Her vast experience, deep knowledge of the work and clarity in teaching are second to none.

Leora Gaster lived the work since infancy, under Moshe’s constant gaze and guidance.  As Mia Segal’s daughter, she integrated it as a natural part of life, teaching it as part of the family culture. Leora continues to advance applications into human potential, with Moshe’s work at the core.  She has a degree in human biology from Stanford University, where she periodically returns to track scientific developments relevant to the work, integrating them into her trainings worldwide, faithful to Moshe’s insight and approach.
