Elisabeth Wetzel discovered the Feldenkrais Method as a young woman and practiced it independently for many years. In 2015, she had the opportunity to become a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner herself. The practice has profoundly transformed her approach to learning, heightened her awareness of her own body, and positively impacted her outlook on life as a whole. Over the years, Elisabeth has lived in various countries with her husband and now-grown children. When one of her children married a Japanese woman, Elisabeth and her husband embraced the chance to move to Japan in 2019 to be closer to their grandchildren. She is delighted to share this remarkable method, bringing greater lightness and ease to the lives of others.

Feldenkrais Movement Workshop
with Elisabeth Wetzel
Mini Workshop (English), Sunday 19th January 2025
Join us on 19.1.2025 for an in-person Feldenkrais Method workshop, taught in English by Elisabeth Wetzel. Originally from Germany, Elisabeth has been living in Kyoto for five years with her husband. While she has been teaching international groups online, this is a rare chance to experience her teaching live in Kobe (Mikage).
- Most people unconsciously use too much willpower and muscle energy for their movements, which is causing strain and pain.
- In the Feldenkrais method we teach students to notice that unnecessary effort.
- The lessons are built in a way to allow the students to discover what’s best themselves, instead of trying to copy the teachers movements.
- You simply lie down, close your eyes, listen to exploratory questions, and tune into your own sensations. By experimenting with gentle, easy movements, you begin to recognize the difference between effort and ease.
Maximum participants: 10
Price: ¥5,500/participant
Duration: 10am – 1pm (with short breaks)
