Final Conference in Brussels Recap
On January 23rd in Brussels, the Final Conference of the Feldenkrais4Life project brought together researchers, policymakers, educators, and health professionals to reflect on two years of European collaboration dedicated to integrated health and somatic practices.
Decoding Depression & Feldenkrais4LIFE
Depression emerges from the interaction of many environments — our bodies, our relationships, the spaces we inhabit, and the natural rhythms around us. This is the core idea behind the Decoding Depression initiative of the European Commission.
Feldenkrais as a Double‑Aligned Framework: One Health in the Method, EQF Principles in the Profession
Across Europe, health, education, and social care systems increasingly need preventive, person-centred, and cost-effective approaches that support well-being, functional autonomy, and stress regulation. The Feldenkrais Method responds to this need by improving movement efficiency, interoceptive awareness, and autonomic balance through gentle, guided learning.
Feldenkrais Competences and the EQF: A Step Toward European Recognition
Feldenkrais competences are ready for broader recognition and integration across European health, education, and social care systems.
What we learned from the Italian and German pilot courses
The Feldenkrais4Life Action A4 pilots were designed around a shared conviction: fibromyalgia and chronic pain cannot be effectively addressed through single, isolated interventions. These conditions require approaches that integrate medical knowledge, embodied learning and the lived experience of patients, while also fostering dialogue and mutual understanding between professionals.
Bridging Disciplines for Better Care: Insights from the 2nd Pan-European Feldenkrais4Life Meeting
Building on the first pan-European event (January 2025), this session explored how the Feldenkrais Method can be integrated into healthcare.
Fybromyalgia, chronic pain and Feldenkrais
Chronic pain is not only a physical problem, but also involves emotional and psychological aspects of sufferers.
The project has taken this issue to heart and in spring 2025 will organise an innovative course for Feldenkrais teachers, doctors and patients to stimulate an integrated approach that can help the healing process through improved movement and body awareness.
Feldenkrais and NACE classification of economic activities in Europe
From 2025 onwards, European statistics will start being produced based on NACE Rev. 2.1.
And this new version, now official, brings a first milestone, a first small step along the path to recognition of the Feldenkrais activity among the economic activities of the European Community.
Best Practice Feldenkrais
The opportunity offered until January 2026 by the project to present the work of Feldenkrais practitioners as a source of mutual inspiration and exchange between colleagues and other professionals. A showcase for Europe, its institutions and all those who might be interested in the potential of the Feldenkrais Method on a national and international level.
