We will be documenting Moshe Feldenkrais’ legacy by posing questions about various foundations, principles and key lectures that have greatly formed how practitioners work with clients.
Our focus will be to interview those that attended his main trainings in Israel and the United States, as well as those who are actively pursuing and practicing his work. This clip is of Sheryl Field, Assistant Trainer, speaking in reference to Moshe’s classic lecture from his last professional teacher training in Amherst, Massachusetts titled: “To correct is incorrect.”

Childhood Motor Disorders
Sheri-Rose Rubin talks about discovering that her son Max had cerebral palsy, the incredibly grim prognosis given to him by the medical community, finding the Feldenkrais Method and the work of Sheryl Field which turned a tragedy into something incredibly beautiful.
Sheryl Field is the founder of The Field Center: For Children’s Integrated Development.
What she does and the remarkable impact she has made on the lives of many families who were given very little hope for their children’s disabilities must be shared with other families in similar situations.

Bringing an Appropriate Environment to a Child
Sheryl talks about the primary foundational elements from which she practices when working with a child whose legs are spastic and poorly differentiated as a result of cerebral palsy.
“What would be the way in which any child would have learned that their legs were theirs? What would be the baseline of recognizing ones own legs as two separate parts of oneself meant to be under ones conscious control?”
Sheryl Field, Assistant Trainer of The Feldenkrais Method, has been practicing since her graduation from the Amherst Training in 1983, the last professional teacher training taught by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. She is the founder of The Field Center For Children’s Integrated Development.
