Welcome to 

The Institute for the Study of Somatic Education
A 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit Educational Corporation since 1992

 After 32 years of providing accredited Teacher Training Programs and post-graduate courses in the Feldenkrais Method® and , we are reducing our role.
While we will continue to provided teaching and consulting services to other organizations, we will not, under our own auspices, offer another four year training program leading to certification as Teacher of the Feldenkrais Method. 
We are proud to have served as organizers and Educational Directors for 19 such programs in the 
United States, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Taiwan, China, and Australia. 

Co-directors Paul Rubin and Julie Casson Rubin will continue to offer post-graduate studies for Feldenkrais Teacher/Practitioners from time to time as opportunities arise. Any Feldenkrais Teacher/Practitioners who may be interested in collaborating on offering post-graduate seminars, please contact us pjrubin@gmail.com. 

Many of the graduates from our very first program (1992-'96) and from each of our subsequent programs are still practicing as Teacher/Practitioners of the Method. We are very proud of you and of our part in supporting the contributions you are making in your communities.

To our nearly 1,000 graduates worldwide we thank you above all for the trust you placed in us as well as for your support over all these years. It has been a privilege and honour to teach you and to learn from you, each one.

"When the human nervous system is engaged to organize us in unified action and self-expression, we go beyond the mere mechanics of joints and muscles. The results are often dramatic and quite delightful. This is true whether the task at hand is the rehabilitation of basic functions, the improvement of highly developed skills, or more complex improvements in the quality of our relationship to ourselves and the world."
