About
“When you give the body one taste, you learn it better than with a thousand explanations.”
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, The Master Moves.
From the original introduction by Carl Ginsburg:
“In this transcript of Moshe’s five-day public workshop at Mann Ranch in Northern California in 1979, the full range of his thinking and his teaching style can be explored. All his major ideas on movement, human development, sensitivity, awareness, and so forth are presented both as exposition and exploration through movement lessons. These lessons, part of his unique contribution to human development, are the key to understanding the Feldenkrais Method.”
This book is the transcription of that workshop. The Spanish edition has been faithfully translated and includes a wonderful introduction and orientation to the material by Miguel Ángel Martínez Moya, President of the Mexican Association of the Feldenkrais Method.
