Who we are
The International Feldenkrais Federation Research Network is a group of Feldenkrais Method practitioners with diverse research backgrounds committed to building an international forum and platform for the genesis of high-quality research into the Feldenkrais Method. The IFF Research Network currently does not undertake research projects as a group.
The IFF Research Network functions as a Working Group of the International Feldenkrais Federation. The Network is organized by a volunteer Steering Committee, a part-time paid coordinator and several volunteer task groups.
Our Mission
Our mission is for the Feldenkrais Method to gain global recognition as an efficacious methodology for the improvement of the quality of live in humans and animals.
Our Goal
To achieve our mission, we have three overarching goals.
- To develop a culture of scholarship and research within the professional field of the Feldenkrais Method in order to deepening the understanding the efficacy of the Feldenkrais Method.
- To provide networking opportunities to facilitate the development of research projects into the Feldenkrais Method.
- To disseminate information about research into the Feldenkrais Method to interested Feldenkrais practitioners and lay people.
What we do
Our main current projects include:
- developing an international network of Feldenkrais Method practitioners, especially researcher-practitioners, who are interested in and/or engaged in scholarship and research into the Feldenkrais Method by writing regular newsletters
- Hosting regular international online events (including presentations, discussions, forums and symposia) which inform researchers and practitioners as to the current state of research into the Feldenkrais Method which may spark inspiration for new investigations.
- developing and maintaining an up-to-date database for the entire known collection of internationally written articles and items on the Feldenkrais Method. This Feldenkrais Reference Database is easily accessible and searchable by researchers, practitioners and the public.
- supporting the publication of the Feldenkrais Research Journal, in its publication of scholarly articles and research studies about the Feldenkrais Method.
