Does licking an imaginary ice cream appeal to you? With a tongue that reaches your chest? How about pecking like a chicken? Or perhaps you'd enjoy turning your face to the right while looking toward the left?

The commands of a hypnotist? No, but you might hear them as suggestions in a Feldenkrais class.

The Feldenkrais Method is a holistic technique leading to the re-education of body use and function. Its creator, Russian scientist Moshe Feldenkrais, believed in the total unity of body and mind (rather than the body as machine and mind as its operator) and refined techniques for better using our bodies to develop our human potential.
