“One of the best decisions I have made is mentoring with Jeff Haller… My practice has improved dramatically. The sensitivity of my touch and my understanding of what exactly I am touching has increased. I am much clearer within myself and my thoughts are less cluttered as I work. I have improved my ability to give my students something significant, in both FI and ATM, that they understand and can take away with them. This all makes for more true confidence and I find my ‘work’ much lighter and easier and more rewarding.” — Janet Wilson, GCFP

A Message from Jeff Haller
Over the years of teaching IOPS in Switzerland, Argentina, New York and Seattle, I have refined the material to make the course even more impactful than it has been in the past. People studying IOPS significantly increase their understanding of the biomechanical principles that are foundational to the Feldenkrais Method. For those of you who are really passionate about building a robust and vigorous practice of teaching Awareness Through Movement® and Functional Integration®, IOPS offers you a view into proficient, skillful, functional movement like no other program.
You will be refining your own personal organization in all of the functions we will study so you know the functions from the inside out. You will be offered a fresh innovative new take on the experience of Awareness Through Movement that will support your ability to bring your inner experience out into your expression of Functional Integration. You will learn to see patterns, develop internal strength, work with the functions of sitting, standing, walking, etc. There is much more complexity to understand in these functions than you will have been exposed to.
Alongside my friend and colleague Andrew Gibbons, I have worked passionately for years to develop the means for you to learn this material from the inside out. The point of this is simple: for you to succeed as a practitioner and help you support yourself and your family in these difficult and uncertain times. If we are going to make ourselves invaluable to our clients then we have to become significantly more valuable to them.
— Jeff Haller
