2006-02-07 15:40:32 The goals of the two methods are similar; their approach to teaching is different. The Feldenkrais Method leads student through movements that lead to a felt experience of, for example, being upright by balancing over the skeleton. The Alexander Technique, as I understand it, will describe the most efficient position and help the student assume the posture. —JeannetteHogan
2006-02-08 12:06:10 I was introduced to the Feldenkrais Method® many years ago during recovery from a serious illness and found it to be extremely valuable in my return to full movement and health. This personal experience lead to my becoming a teacher of the Method. —MargBartosek
