News Flash: Moshe Feldenkrais Alive
Published April 2nd, 2010 in Feldenkrais Method.This just in…Moshe Feldenkrais recently appeared at a Feldenkrais® training program, shocking the
somatic world. Dr. Feldenkrais died in 1984, according to all accounts.
He walked in with a wry grin on his face exclaiming, “Oy vey! I started doing Bell Hand in my imagination for a few hours and the next thing I knew I had been declared dead and buried. How can you be so unaware that you could not even tell when a man is just doing a lesson in his imagination?!”
A masterful storyteller, Feldenkrais took several hours to let his story unfold but the short version is encapsulated in this statement, “It took me 35 years of slow movement to get myself out of that predicament.”
Before revealing himself to his surprised students, Feldenkrais spent a year enjoying his newfound freedom and looking for a replacement studio for the famed place on Alexander Yanai Street where he did his original work. He also revealed that the time in internment allowed him the opportunity to create 1000 new lessons that are vital to human potential.
“I certainly never dreamed I would meet the old man,” mused recent trainee Jimmy Jenks.
Moshe, as his students always call him, says this event is important proof that his Method is great and everyone should be doing it.
As of this edition, we have been unable to reach Dr. Feldenkrais directly but we will certainly keep trying.
