Feldenkrais lesson with works from the museum collection
These lessons are led by Yael Davids in English.
Yael Davids: A Daily Practice includes The School, a programme of thematic Feldenkrais lessons composed by Davids in relation to works from the museum’s collection. These lessons will take place in the central room of the exhibition, which will be temporarily closed for other visitors. You can join with or without Feldenkrais experience.
Somatic learning
During a Feldenkrais lesson, participants are guided through a series of movements. The method was developed by Moshé Feldenkrais (1904-1984) based on the principle that changing the way we move leads to a change in how we think, observe and feel. The lessons will take place in a designated room in the exhibition. During the lessons, this room will be closed to other visitors.

Accessibility
During a Feldenkrais lesson, the teacher describes – with spoken word – a series of movements which the participants are invited to carry out (the teacher does not show the movements). The movements often use the torso muscles, such as rolling and sitting. The Feldenkrais lessons are accessible for participants who are blind or partially sighted. The lessons are not suited for deaf participants.
