“Improve both your teaching and your ability as a practitioner with more benefits and results for clients. This program of 1-4 courses is designed from my personal & successful professional experience”-JD.

‘A Postgraduate Training in ‘Masterful Moves’ using cns-based ‘Core Movement Pathways’- an advanced Body-Brain ‘GPS’ Navigation method 

       an Online Training Opportunity with  Josef DellaGrotte, 1977, FGNA-trainer 

   Five MONDAYS May 29-– July 3, 2023  (Skip June 26): Course #1 in a four-part postgraduate Program  [certification option, TBD]

“I highly recommend Josef DellaGrotte’s Masterful Moves postgrad ‘live’ seminar in which I participated [Montpellier France, April 2023].
Josef’s workshop presentation provided a practical and clear synthesis of Feldenkrais- based and CMI body and movement work, helping me have a more cogent utilization of his approach toward my life and work activities. It strengthened my conception of movement pathways and contours, plus my processes of moving and holding. It notably contrasts with some other past advanced workshops I have taken. “
—Antony Watkins (CFP, Physicist-Engineer International Energy Development Advisor)

Protocol

Welcoming your questions or comments

A minimum of 8 participants will confirm the course.

Payments are to be received by May 20, 2023, to confirm your place.

If the course were to be postponed, all payments would be returned in full within two days of the cancellation.

Those who have studied with Josef DellaGrotte or his team are invited to enroll in Module #1, Core Movement Pathways, or the equivalent, such as the course being offered from May 23 to June 20, 2023.

Josef DellaGrotte notes: I would encourage those who have taken an earlier version of the foundation course to retake it.

‘Course #1 will not be just a ‘repeat ‘ of the Jan Feb 2023 class.  The foundation, as it continues, will always include improvements. The ESSENTIALS of the foundations remain the same, and the DEVELOPMENT changes as it should. (Note: even computer operating systems are being ‘updated’ all the time). 

Testimonials

“Thank you for these unique movements we are learning…I hope that all these pathway patterns contribute to my somatic ‘intelligence…I am finding the ways..”- Nicoline van der Pas, Physical therapist and Feldenkrais Practitioner, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

“You are amazing, Josef! A model of aging excellence!”  Al Wadleigh, Feldenkrais Practitioner

“Just as with 26 letters of the alphabet you can create a ‘universe’ of writing, so with six primary pathways you can quickly analyze a ‘client’ and see which movement pathways have been compromised and can be improved” -Paul Davidovits, paraphrased by JD

“Josef DellaGrotte is a master of movement. After decades of studying and experimenting, he developed a technique that explains all physical movements using Six Primary Cardinal Core Movement Pathway directions, making it possible to track the most complex and optimize them using {as few as] 24 awareness -based lesson-exercises. This facilitates moving in the most effortless way. Josef’s way of approaching true functional movement restores our ability to move elegantly and painlessly. Josef’s talent for teaching this process is likely to make you experience its benefits from the very first class you take with him. I have participated in the ‘Masterful Moves’ training Course [#1] with Josef. He has developed an excellent program, leading students step by step to a practical understanding of ‘functional bio-anatomy in action.  Each class inspires further learning, includes practice breakout groups, and then continuing practice with recorded videos.”  

  – Paul Davidovits, (retired) Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, Boston College, CMI trained, author of ‘Physics in Biology and Medicine’, a textbook, and also ‘Holocaust Memories’ [Amazon, 2022].

“I really appreciate the commitment you and Josef make to open new vistas for exploration. As a practitioner, I welcome the  opportunity to continue to  pique my curiosity, to embrace and be open to the evolution and paradigm shifts in the science of movement, learning, attention, and awareness.”

–– Diane Barker,   dianebarker.ca, a participant in the May 9, 2023 Presentation

Latest research on walking-exercise by – ‘Josef DellaGrotte, Phd, fisio- trainer’ January 2023

We are born to walk. But where have all the walkers gone?

Walking is primary and universal, fundamental to our very body and brain’s ‘functional’ abilities to manage and carry out all of our intentions, needs, wants, desires and curiosities. Without this primordial movement ability to walk, life as we know it would be severely compromised and unsustainable. Land based creatures great and small also do it. But humans  do it in a unique way. For as long as we have been around, walking made hunting and gathering possible. With the great climate changes some 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens’ ability to track animals, and walk long distances made the difference both in survival, and beyond, migrating out of Africa eventually reaching all the continents.

Imagine the further benefits if one walks better, using basic movement skills that improve…

        Posture, Alignment, Balance, Breathing-and Enjoying!

 With good biomechanical movement as the base, we have been able to develop even further. There are now many varieties, variations, and creative combinations of walking gait movements-all deriving from a common core of physics and center of gravity based movement patterns. Walking well is a built-in functional ability modulated by our brain, moment to moment, a precise physics-based  action with  neural sensation and feeling components. Adding in posture, alignment, balance, and brain control, the patterned movements of walking can be applied to many other derivative activities, from dancing to running, swimming, gymnastics  and all sports and performance. The applications are endless.

JAN 2022: new research shows that “20 minutes of walking, or equivalent exercise, “reduces both cancer and heart diseases”..

And if you did nothing else but just walked well, frequently and sufficiently, this natural activity alone is enough to keep you well and fit, benefiting all of your body’s major organs, fluids circulation, and  even enhancing brain health, plus extending longevity. The science and the statistics tell us so.

Participant question: the three planes

(emphasis added KH)

The SAGITTAL plane (/ˈsædʒɪtəl/; also known as the LONGITUDINAL plane) is an anatomical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. It is perpendicular to the TRANSVERSE and CORONAL  planes. Wiki  

A CORONAL or FRONTAL  plane divides the body into dorsal and ventral (back and front, or posterior and anterior) portions.

A TRANSVERSE plane, also known as an AXIAL plane or CROSS-SECTION, divides the body into cranial and caudal (head and tail) portions MedLibre

Six cardinal directions / Archimedes and beyond… 

The brain’s primary ‘master’ is gravity, i.e physics,  biomechanics and physiology follows..”  quoting  Josef DellaGrotte, PhD, psychologist, Feldenkrais-physio, trainer since 1985

” Cardinal directions or cardinal points may sometimes be extended to include elevation (altitude, depth): north, south, east, west, up and down, or mathematically the six directions of the x-, y-, and z-axes in three-dimensional space. Topographic maps include elevation, typically via contour lines.

In astronomy, the cardinal points of an astronomical body as seen in the sky are four points defined by the directions toward which the celestial poles lie relative to the center of the disk of the object in the sky.[4][5] A line (a great circle on the celestial sphere) from the center of the disk to the North celestial pole will intersect the edge of the body (the “limb“) at the North point. The North point will then be the point on the limb that is closest to the North celestial pole. Similarly, a line from the center to the South celestial pole will define the South point by its intersection with the limb. The points at right angles to the North and South points are the East and West points. Going around the disk clockwise from the North point, one encounters in order the West point, the South point, and then the East point. This is opposite to the order on a terrestrial map because one is looking up instead of down.”  Wiki
