I am very excited about an upcoming venture to Edmonton, AB!
I have be asked to come to work on some special needs children in the Feldenkrais/Anat Baniel Method.
What is the Anat Baniel Method for Children?
The Anat Baniel Method for Children expands on the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, using gentle innovative techniques to access teh brain's ability to learn movement, thought and feelings. It asks children to move only in ways which are within their true capabilities, creating a feeling of safety, encouraging a willingness to expand into new abilities. Practitioners certified in this method provide learning experiences that help children develop beyond their limitations. Infants' and children's progress often surpass medical expectations.
What changes are seen when children receive lessons?
This method provides children with experiences that give them the opportunity to upgrade their nervous systems. Practitioners seek to wake up children's awareness of feeling what they are doing.
Many parents report that the first changes they see include:
- improved mood
- better sleep
- greater comfort
- increased alertness and awareness of their surroundings
Functional changes that have been seen as children continue the work include:
- more effortless movement
- better balance
- improved ability to move: crawl, walk, run, jump and reach
- greater problem - solving skills
- improved speech
