FI
A private, one-to-one session is known as a “Functional Integration” lesson, or “FI”. It’s a one hour consultation which, like a class lesson, is a safe and gentle step-by-step exploration and clarification of the coordination of movement, balance and posture. But in Functional Integration the lesson is hands-on and specifically tailored for the individual, taking into account his/her specific needs and abilities. Pelvic Awakening The pelvis is the centre of movement power, sexual pleasure and reproduction. The Pelvic Awakening Bodywork is the gentle, and sometimes firm, touch and movement of Feldenkrais and bodywork applied to the pelvis, hip joints, thighs, buttocks, sacrum, coccyx, lumbar spine and abdomen.
