Learning Self-Organization

Advanced Training for Feldenkrais Practitioners

The Foundations of Skillful, Supported, Accurate Touch

with Jeff Haller, PhD

June 25–29, 2026
Vienna Feldenkrais Institute
Vienna, Austria

Early bird registration deadline February 28, 2026!

This Advanced Training for Feldenkrais Practitioners investigates the inner workings of the Feldenkrais Method® and the biological principles that are foundational to the work. It specifically explores Moshe’s statement from the San Francisco training, in which he said he could lift a person’s head without changing the tone in his arms. We investigate principles of movement and self-organization that provide you with specific criteria and a practical path towards greater competency in the work.

Just as the steel in fine knife blades is tempered through a series of heating processes and then honed to develop a lasting durable edge, we learn to temper our skills and hone our own abilities. 

Through this workshop, you will discover how to:

  • Support yourself and work with proportional, equal distribution of tone;

  • Improve your ability to listen to what your client communicates when you touch them;

  • Improve the quality of your touch;

  • Give higher quality Functional Integration® lessons;

  • Improve your comfort while working;

  • Take what you have learned in ATM on the floor into active upright movement.
