“Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.” Moshe Feldenkrais
"The behavior of human beings is firmly based on the self-image they have made for themselves. Accordingly, if one wishes to change one's behavior, it will be necessary to change this image. What is a self-image? I would argue that it is a body image."
- Moshe Feldenkrais, 1964, in "Bodily Expressions",

Welcome to my website!
I am Eric Anderson and I am excited to offer a potent process that can improve the quality of your life and bring you greater agency over the quality of your actions and sense of vitality. Everything you do weather it be sitting in a chair, walking, talking, breathing or interacting with others draws on internal images that you have developed your entire life. They effect greatly the quality and effectiveness of your actions, intentions and choices. The good news is that these images are plastic and changable. What I teach is how to improve these images by using a learning process that you already have been using all of your life. I work with my students so they can more effectively work with their own imaging process to improve the quality of almost any function they desire. The process
What is the Feldenkrais Method?
The Feldenkrais Method is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their natural abilities to move, think, and feel. Whether you want to be more comfortable sitting at your computer, playing with your children and grandchildren, or performing a favorite pastime, these gentle lessons can improve you overall well being.
Learning to move with less effort makes daily life easier. Because the Feldenkrais Method focuses on the relationship between movement and thought, increased mental awareness and creativity accompany physical improvements. Everyone, from athletes and artists to administrators and attorneys, can benefit from the Feldenkrais Method.
After experiencing Feldenkrais® lessons, people often express feelings of relaxation and ease. They may breathe more freely and find their thoughts have more clarity. The learning process is full of pleasant surprises and personal breakthroughs.
Feldenkrais lessons teach you the means to take charge of your own improvement and are offered in two ways, enabling you to discover which learning style is most appropriate for your needs.
I offer group lessons in the Feldenkrais Method called Awareness Through Movement. I also individual Sessions call Functional Integration
