Rewire Your Body: Exploring Neuroplasticity through Feldenkrais Access with David Zemach-Bersin

In this episode, we chat with David Zemach-Bersin, the director of Feldenkrais Access. With over 45 years of experience, David shares his journey from being part of the first Feldenkrais training in the U.S. to establishing a thriving practice and online community that empowers individuals to enhance their physical comfort and well-being.
David explains the principles of the Feldenkrais Method, a unique blend of biology, neuroscience, and movement, which harnesses the brain's neuroplasticity to promote positive change in the body and mind. At Feldenkrais Access, David focuses on accessible, self-guided exercises known as Awareness Through Movement, allowing anyone—regardless of age or ability—to benefit from this transformative approach.

If you’ve ever wondered how mindful movement can help break habits, improve posture and cultivate a greater sense of ease in your body, then this one’s for you! 

Having healthy skeletal and neuromuscular organization is key to our enjoyment of all outdoor, adventuring activities. The Feldenkrais Method is incredibly effective at enabling us to move with ease, improving the organization of our musculo-skeletal system, reducing unnecessary tension, and reducing our vulnerability to strains and injuries. Using your own brain and built-in capacity for neuroplasticity, Feldenkrais lessons are easy to do, anywhere. You can use Feldenkrais lessons with senior teacher, David Zemach-Bersin, to help yourself prepare for an adventure, to soothe sore muscles on the go, and to heal faster when necessary.
