Feldenkrais – Holistic Movements – Belgium
In March, I had the privilege of leading a Feldenkrais class in Lommel, Belgium.
Inspired by the work of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the class focused on two main areas. The first was aimed at improving vision—particularly for those beginning to need glasses for reading. The second focused on helping individuals with walking difficulties often caused by a pronounced red reflex and a compressed chest.
My approach is to re-activate primal reflexes by applying the deep principles of Dr. Feldenkrais, who, with guidance from Dr. Kano (the founder of Judo), understood that efficient movement comes from working without opposition to oneself.
My ongoing practice of Junomichi (real Judo also practised by Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, not sport Judo) continues to deepen my understanding of these principles, which I aim to share through my workshops.
Our recent workshop invited participants to rediscover how breath, vision, and spinal movement are deeply interconnected. Using the Feldenkrais Method and primitive reflex integration, we explored gentle exercises that reawaken natural movement patterns often lost in modern life.
We began with breathwork, observing how breathing affects spinal alignment and the nervous system. This was followed by knee drop exercises, allowing participants to explore how reflexes like the ATNR and Spinal Galant shape coordination and posture.
Spinal twists and coordinated head-eye movements helped reconnect visual awareness with physical balance, promoting relaxation and focus. 
We also explored gravity through subtle arm and leg lifts, showing how effortless movement begins with awareness.
The final section introduced visual tracking exercises to enhance eye-muscle coordination and spatial orientation. Throughout, participants were encouraged to move slowly, observe with care, and let their body lead the experience.
