The Originators of the Methods |
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais was a physicist, engineer and judo master who pioneered a learning system that utilizes movement and awareness of self to bring about remarkable changes in the human mind and body. Based on his understanding of the central nervous system he created a mode that incorporates over 1,000 movement-lessons and personalized hands-on teachings. These are designed around specific functions that make it possible for the brain to organize action more effectively. Anat Baniel, who knew Dr. Feldenkrais since childhood, began her long professional relationship with Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais in 1973 as his apprentice. From 1977 to 1981 she taught in Dr. Feldenkrais' Institute in Tel-Aviv and became a trainer for him in 1981. Since that time she has become a world renowned practitioner, teacher and lecturer in her own right. For over 30 years Ms. Baniel has worked as a trainer, teacher and private practitioner. Her experience has evolved her original training into the Anat Baniel Method that combines the teachings of Dr. Feldenkrais with her own vast experience, helping others and teaching others to help themselves in amazing ways. |
Anat Baniel Method for Children |

A Learning Based Approach for Babies & Children with Special Needs |
If your child cannot sit up by himself, or crawl or stand yp on his own, we will not try to force him into these positions but instead will engage your child in a process that provides the brain with the information it needs to begin learning how to do these movements. By engaging your child in a process of learning, your child's brain will form neural patterns that were missing due to their illness or injury. Once enough of these missing elements are in place, your child will spontaneously begin doing what he or she couldn't do before. Anat Baniel has discovered that almost always, regardless of the specific diagnosis, the child's brain is available for potential learning. Early intervention (as young as five days old) can yield very rapid results, but teenagers who have had many years of conventional treatments before discovering this method have also had great success. |
