The Finnish line – Thoughts in Movement

Whereas engaged on my doctorate in Kinesiology, I attended a classmate’s birthday celebration. I couldn’t get my dialog with one of many different celebrants in regards to the Feldenkrais Technique of neurophysical schooling and what it provides out of my head; once I obtained again to my place within the wee hours of the morning, I wrote it down. 

After engaged on it independently for just a few days, I requested my scholar and neighbor, the author and singer Norma Marder, to edit the account of that dialog. Along with her perception and steerage, I polished Felden-WHAT? earlier than publishing it in Telekinesis, the bi-annual publication I despatched to Feldenkrais lecturers worldwide within the early Nineties. 

Since then, colleagues translated the article into Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Russian. At present, I obtained an e mail informing me {that a} group of Finnish Feldenkrais lecturers and trainees accomplished translating the piece. (This collaborative effort is a testomony to the shared curiosity and dedication of the worldwide Feldenkrais group.) I supply my heartfelt gratitude to the members of the group—Päivi Nikula-Väisänen, Piia Surakka, Johanna Lapinniemi, Iina Kautiainen, and Marko Seppälä—who did the work and to Raisa Vennamo for instigating the venture.
