This is a common and very valid question, especially since many other Feldenkrais programs span up to 4 years.

We are confident that our program provides an incredibly strong foundation and for graduates to be genuinely confident and competent to begin their professional practice immediately.

Here's what distinguishes the MBS Feldenkrais Training from others:

1. Hands-on learning with partner work right from the start

What sets the MBS program apart is the teaching of the connection between Awareness Through Movement (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI) from the very start.

Students do partner work from the beginning. They learn to follow their partner's movement by watching, then verifying it by following the movement with their hands on.

This direct experience supports the development of a profound understanding of the work as Moshé Feldenkrais and Mia Segal intended.

2. Teaching based on fundamental principles

The heart of our approach lies in the masterfully developed curriculum by Mia Segal and Leora Gaster, that has been refined over decades.

The program teaches you the fundamental principles and critical thinking behind the Feldenkrais Work, rather than basing it on hundreds of transcribed recordings of Moshé's movement lessons.

3. Essence of the movement and developing the quality of touch

The total number of training days is less than in other trainings, however, the quality is exceptionally high due to our focused approach. Students do not spend time repeating hundreds of ATMs but are led to understand the essence or “DNA” of a movement through direct experience.

Yes, we are confident that our program provides an incredibly strong foundation and for graduates to be genuinely confident and competent to begin their professional practice immediately.

On an online sharing session, multiple ex-students voiced their personal experiences with the MBS Feldenkrais Training program.

Fiona Phua, one of our recent graduates from Singapore, shared: "I started training as a Pilates instructor first. And now I've completely changed my practice. I'm now able to pick any, any movement and turn it into a lesson, because the principles were laid out in such a clear way. The way that the lessons were structured was really helpful."

Ingrid Kasumagić, another MBS practitioner from Croatia, recounted an experience with a practitioner who had completed a 4-year training in England. "She was really confused because, after these 4 years, she came to MBS for one segment (workshop), and she was totally amazed with this work. Finally, only after this experience in MBS, she was able to touch other people (Functional Integration “FI”) because she didn't develop the security to touch people before... And these dynamics between ATMs and FIs, in MBS, you combine it from the beginning. And you actually learn so much about everything through the touch and through observing other people."

If you would like to speak with an ex-students, please let us know and we can make the connection.

The course language is English. However, there are trainers and assistants who speak fluent German, Italian, and Dutch.
