Trainings according to Elisabet Bloom approach


FAQ: CROSS-OVER TRAINING CONTENT

*About the Training

The training is grounded in Yochanan Rywerant's unique, structured approach to teaching—a method deeply rooted in the theories and philosophy of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.

To optimise the learning experience, the programme is divided into four segments spread over four years.

The overall aim is to deepen understanding of the principles behind the manipulons, the theory, and the practical application of the method.

*Learning through experience

The training is experiential: each participant perceives the manipulons daily through the teacher's hands.

Theoretical reviews are complemented by practical examples, and the role of the group and ongoing reflection are emphasised.

*The role of the group and ongoing Reflection

A vital part of the training is the daily sharing of experiences among group members.

Each new segment starts with participants' reflections, insights, and lessons learned, which are considered in a collective evaluation that enhances understanding and promotes ongoing learning.

*Between segments

The participant's own practice is vital for anchoring the knowledge and reinforcing the pedagogical impact.

Support remains available throughout the training via email and telephone.

FAQ: ADVANCED TRAINING CONTENT

  • Yochanan Rywerant, according to Moshe Feldenkrais, uses repetition in one-to-one and group lessons.

  • My Advanced Training serves that purpose.

  • During and after Basic Training, a personal process begins to help one understand the various parts of the method and theory.

  • A repetition of the one-to-one lessons is needed to deepen this process.

  • Everyone can experience and practice the one-to-one lessons under supervision and discussions between the participants. In addition, it strengthens the participants' approach to the method.

EBA Somatic Education Certificate
You have to complete all segments of the Basic Training to receive the certificate.
You complete your training with an accreditation assessment.

The certificate holder is authorized to teach Basic Training through Skills and Abilities according to EBA Somatic Education. In the Jewish tradition, a person can be given an "Asmachta," which means approval. If a teacher gives his Asmachta, it means, “I have met this man, I know where he comes from, I know his intelligence, I know his knowledge.

In Yochanan Rywerant´s book “The Feldenkrais Method, Teaching by Handling” Dr. Feldenkrais gives his “Asmachta” to him.
He writes, “He worked thirteen and a half years within close quarters the same room where I worked. He has his own “handwriting” like all the others”.

Yochanan Rywerant has given his approval for Elisabet Bloom´s teaching. 

He writes: November 12, 1997 

“I think you are the first from the Trainers Training that has already started teaching. It is exactly what I had in mind, and this beginning shows that my efforts have not been in vain.

I can see that you had a clear idea about what to do, but you were also free to observe what is changing and developing in those people. You have all my encouragement. You should be proud of yourself. Anyway, I am proud of you.”
