Moshe said that from this point he could move a person’s Universe.The desire to be effective in giving Functional Integration lessons is often thwarted by not knowing precisely where to begin and how to proceed. In 1979 in Tel-Aviv, Moshe Feldenkrais delineated what he called the “Archimedean Lever.” Simply stated, each person uniquely organizes him/herself from a certain point or area. Moshe said that from this point he could move a person’s Universe. With the ability to see and sense that point, one can give lessons that address and shift both the “how” and “what” of the FI (Functional Integration) dynamics. In this two-day DVD, FI-based workshop, you can watch Dennis elucidate the concept of the “Lever” through FI demonstrations, lecture and generous individual instruction.About the AuthorDennis Leri is a graduate of the first U.S. Feldenkrais training program and worked closely with Dr. Feldenkrais from 1973 to 1984 in the U.S. and at the Feldenkrais Institute in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
