Uskoro ću biti u Mostaru (kraj aprila 2026. i početkom septembra 2026.)
Molimo vas da me kontaktirate ako ste zainteresovani za radionicu za roditelje, predavanje za vaše učenike, privatne časove za djecu ili ako mi se može obezbijediti prostorija za rad.
I will be in Mostar soon (end of april 2026 and beginning of September 2026).
Please contact me if you are interested in a workshop for parents, a lecture for your students, private lessons for children, or if a room can be provided for me to work in.
How it began
- The Feldenkrais Children’s Project Mostar started September 2023 with a lecture and introduction followed by two days of Feldenkrais Lessons for children with with developmental disabilities.
- This event was made possible thanks to the generous support of Udruga za nedonoščad Mostar and its president.
- This project is part of Feldenkrais without Borders, which is an international group of Feldenkrais and Anat Baniel Method for Children teachers committed to making the work of Dr. Feldenkrais accessible to as many children with disabilities as possible.
What we do
- Parents of children with special needs should first and foremost be parents, not therapists. But parents also spend the most time with their child.
- Increased knowledge and understanding of learning processes can therefore be crucial in positively influencing their child’s development.
- That is why this project aims not only to provide children with Feldenkrais lessons, but also to introduce parents and professionals to the Feldenkrais and Anat Baniel methods. These methods offer simple tools for putting the theory of learning processes into practice.
- Parent workshops
- Development results from learning processes. Most adults are no longer familiar with anything other than so-called academic learning – that is, the goal-oriented cognitive acquisition of knowledge. As babies, however, we learn through organic learning, which is needs-oriented and takes place through sensory experience.
- During these workshops, participants will experience organic learning firsthand through movement, guided attention, and touch.
It combines theory and practice of fundamental principles that support learning processes.
- Private lessons for children
- Whenever I’m in Mostar, I set aside time for Feldenkrais lessons for children. However, I need someone to provide me with a room for this.
- The Feldenkrais Method is also suitable for adults. It can help, for example, reduce pain, decrease movement restrictions, improve sleep, stabilize mental well-being, and maintain or promote mobility. Athletes, musicians, and artists use the Feldenkrais Method to improve their performance or boost their creativity.
But, since my time in Mostar is always very limited, I focus on working with children.
Why Mostar?
- Brigitte – the initiator of this project – has a private relationship with Mostar which started in 2010. She is enthusiastic about the Feldenkrais® Method and wants to bring the work of Moshé Feldenkrais to as many children with disabilities as possible. Irrespective of race, religion, creed, financial situation or political affiliation, out of her feeling of civil responsibility and compassion.
