What is Mind Body Studies?

Moshe Feldenkrais said about his life’s work: It is a special kind of learning: that of knowing oneself.

Learning “how” you are acting and thus able to do “what” you want.

Mind Body Studies is a method for learning. We established an academy for studying and exploring the comprehensive inter-connections of mind and body. Through the process of self- exploration and discovery, health improves and healing occurs. In developing knowledge of how to know yourself and how your thoughts and actions are connected, improvement in widespread walks of life and in self-fulfillment are optimized.

We practice studying our Selves, our bodies and the way we think, feel and act. When we know these ideas, we can take responsibility for what we do, we recognize our potential and we can live up to it.

Leora Gaster grew up under the personal guidance of Dr. Feldenkrais and in constant exposure to his work as he was developing it.

Leora has been teaching Mind Body Studies internationally for over 30 years, collaborating with her mother, Mia Segal, who was Dr. Feldenkrais’ first assistant. Leora has spent the last 3 decades developing the curriculum and methodology of the complete work of Dr. Feldenkrais in Mind Body Studies for MBS Academy.

Leora enhanced her extensive knowledge of MBS work with a degree in Human Biology from Stanford University and is also an NLP Trainer. She received a black belt in Judo (which provides some of the fundamental foundations of MBS philosophies and principles) from the Kodokan in Toyko, when she was 16, with special commendations and training at the master level.
