The International Feldenkrais Federation Research Working Group (IFFRWG) is a network of Feldenkrais teachers that spans the globe. This network of academically trained scientists is a diverse group. Their research experience covers a wide range of scientific fields. On October 31 the network hosted its first online workshop. Susan Hillier, in Adelaide, Australia and Cliff Smyth in San Francisco discussed projects that have already been done. They were looking at quantitative and qualitative research, methods that are often seen as opposites.
