SPIFFER: The dimensions of motion and our potential for change.

A Three-day Advanced Training: Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Taught by Guild Certified Feldenkrais^® Teacher Larry Goldfarb, Ph.D.

Understanding how people move means understanding both the biomechanical basis of motion and the neuromuscular coordination of action. Besides denoting how others move, SPIFFER also maps the spectrum of sensations that form the neurological basis for experiencing oneself in motion.

SPIFFER identifies seven fundamental and interrelated ways that we observe and experience movement:

Sequence: the chain of motion through the skeleton.

Path: the line of motion through three-dimensional space.

Initiation: where the movement begins.

Foundation: how weight is distributed over the base of support.

Flow: tempo including speed, acceleration and the attitude toward time and control.

Effort: patterns of muscular action and the experience of exertion.

Respiration: the rhythms and dimensions of breathing.
